Mr Michael T Webb is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Tweed Heads South, NSW. His practice is at Unit 4 8 Corporation Circuit, Tweed Heads South NSW 2486.
In day to day work, Michael helps people work out what they need to manage everyday life more easily. That can mean looking at small tasks that most people do without thinking, like getting dressed, using tools, cooking, or caring for personal needs. He also focuses on how your hand and fingers work, especially when fine motor skills are making things harder.
Sometimes it’s not just about learning a new way to do something. It can be about building confidence again, and finding practical changes that fit your routine. Over time, the goal is usually the same: help you get through your day with less stress and more independence, in ways that feel realistic for your home and work life.
Michael’s approach starts with assessment. He looks at daily living skills and how you currently do the tasks you need to manage. From there, he can put together a personalised treatment plan. This might include practice activities, step by step coaching, and strategies to support how you move, reach, grip, and use your hands.
Another big part of the work is adaptive equipment. If a certain task is tricky because of strength, movement, or hand control, the right equipment can make a noticeable difference. Recommendations are usually made with your everyday needs in mind, so you’re not just given something random that doesn’t suit your situation.
He can also support improving fine motor skills. This is often about better control, smoother movement, and making hand use more efficient. At times, progress is gradual, and that’s okay. Small improvements can add up, and the plan can be adjusted as things change.
While most OT work comes down to practical goals, Michael also pays attention to the bigger picture. That includes what’s working, what’s not, and what you feel ready to work on next. The aim is simple: help you get back to the activities that matter, using clear, hands-on supports.
