5 Recommended Occupational Therapist Services in Jakarta

Hello FlokqJune 11, 2020

Occupational therapists are therapists that help people from all stages of life to fulfill their needs by guiding them through daily activities. For some, this may sound like the job of a caretaker, but occupational therapists do more than that! Occupational therapists do not only assist disabled children and people recovering from injury to lead their daily life. They also help evaluate their client’s goals and plans, intervene accordingly to the person’s conditions, and ensure that the intervention plan yields a positive outcome.

Therefore, occupational therapy is a more holistic approach that doesn’t just rely on medical rehabilitation (if needed), but they also provide a psychologically healthy environment to encourage their client. Occupational therapists are so exceptional that their teamwork with their patients is the core of the treatment plan. However, occupational therapists, especially those that offer their services in English, are hard to find. Thankfully, we searched the internet for a list of occupational therapists (OT) around Jakarta.

1. MyNurz

MyNurz is a Thailand-based home care provider that also operates in Singapore and Indonesia. In Indonesia alone, it has offered services in twelve cities, including Jakarta and the surrounding area. MyNurz focuses on non-hospital care by providing nurses (specialist and general, practical, nurse, nurse aides), physical, speech, and occupational therapists, which is why we have MyNurz on top of our list.

Their occupational therapy services cover help in basic needs (maintaining personal hygiene, taking care of personal belongings, sleeping, etc.) and functions for survival (dressing, shopping, etc.). They also assist patients who want to keep pursuing their careers. Nurses will also accompany patients in their leisure time and introduce activities to help them stay motivated in their treatment. MyNurz opens their arms to a wide range of patient types: from those recovering from surgery, people with psychosocial, behavioral, and communication difficulties, as well as people with disabilities.
