Mrs Emily J Flint is an Occupational Therapist (OT) based in Yeppoon, QLD. She works from 49 Normanby Street, Yeppoon QLD 4703.
Her role is about helping people get back to everyday life, step by step. This can be after an injury, a flare-up that changed how someone moves, or a time when daily tasks felt harder than usual. In many cases, the goal is not just to recover, but to build confidence and make things feel more manageable again.
Emily focuses on strength and mobility. That might mean gentle rehab so joints and muscles move better, or guided exercises to help someone regain control and steadiness. At times, progress is slow, and that’s okay. She explains what to do and keeps plans realistic for where the person is at.
Fine motor skills are also a big part of her work. For example, some people find it harder to use hands for things like dressing, writing, cooking, or picking up small items. Emily looks at how hands and fingers are working and then teaches practical techniques to support day-to-day movement.
She also helps with adaptive equipment. Not everyone needs extra tools, but when they do, the right equipment can make a real difference. Emily helps patients trial changes and understand how to use them safely, so tasks like bathing, meal prep, or getting around feel easier.
Exercise and practice are often part of the plan. Emily creates personalised rehabilitation exercise programs, based on the person’s needs and what fits into their routine. These programs are designed to support recovery while keeping the work doable at home, not just in the clinic.
Emily’s approach is calm and practical. Over time, she helps people learn ways to manage their symptoms and improve function, even when life feels a bit out of balance. Her sessions are focused on the real things that matter day to day, whether that’s using your hands well, moving with less strain, or getting back to your usual activities.
Training-wise, Emily has completed occupational therapy education, and she continues to bring that knowledge into everyday care for patients in Yeppoon and the surrounding area.
