Services rendered

What do we do differently?

Nick Occupational Therapy service believes in transforming inability into ability and where attitude leads to altitude. Our occupational therapist has extensive experience in working with disability matters from different sectors such as health risk management, insurance, road accident fund, and private and public hospital.

Our approach is more on humanistic cornerstones, believing as we do that we are all capable of making changes to our life. We use therapeutic activities, work simulation, and therapy sessions to promote wellness and to change the scenario from inability to ability, thus bringing out the best in people, who were once afflicted with a feeling of doom and gloom.

In short, we instill light and love.
