Mrs Mathilda De Jager is an Occupational Therapist (OT) in Rockingham, WA. Her clinic is at Unit 11 5 Goddard Street, Rockingham WA 6168. She works with people who want to feel more confident in everyday life, whether that means getting around, coping with pain, or doing daily tasks with less stress.
Occupational therapy looks at the things that matter day to day. This can include dressing, showering, cooking, work or study routines, and getting back into activities you enjoy. In many cases, changes in health can affect how someone moves, manages energy, or completes normal tasks. At times, even small barriers—like the wrong chair height or a hard-to-use item—can make life feel much harder than it needs to.
Mathilda’s approach focuses on practical support and clear goals. She helps with assessment of daily living activities, so the plan fits real life, not just a checklist. From there, she develops personalized treatment plans based on what you need most. This might involve therapeutic exercises and activities, plus strategies that make daily routines easier and safer.
Adaptive equipment can be a big part of getting things back on track. She can guide people on using assistive items in a way that feels comfortable and doable. That can include choosing the right equipment and working out how to use it during normal activities, not just in clinic.
She also provides pain management techniques. Pain is more than a symptom on a chart. It can change how you move, what you can tolerate, and how you plan your day. By looking at both the body and the routine, OT helps people build skills to keep going while reducing strain.
Over time, occupational therapy support often helps people build independence step by step. It can also help families and carers understand what to expect and how to support someone in a grounded, helpful way.
Mathilda’s training is in occupational therapy, with a hands-on focus on functional day-to-day needs. Details about education, research, and clinical trials weren’t provided here, so those can be discussed directly with the clinic if needed.
If you’re dealing with changes in your health, recovering from injury, or finding daily tasks harder than they used to be, an OT review can be a good place to start. Mrs De Jager’s aim is simple: help you do more of what you need and what matters to you, using practical strategies that fit into your routine.
