Occupational Therapy For The Field

Rotational work takes a toll — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Our virtual occupational therapy programs help field, mining, and all industrial field workers manage stress, recover from injury, and build sustainable routines—so you can stay safe, focused, and functional on and off shift.

Whether you’re an individual worker or a company rep, we’ll meet you where you’re at—virtually and confidentially.

What We Offer

Mental Health & Cognition

  • Practical skills to manage stress, anxiety, low mood, ADHD, PTSD symptoms, and other mental health and/or cognitive concerns that are impacting you, whether you’re at work or at home.

  • We don't treat mental illness—we help you manage it in your day-to-day life

Routine & Life Management

  • Create sustainable routines that support balance & recovery during off-shift periods or between contracts.

  • Learn strategies to manage rest, responsibilities, and healthy habits while maintaining strong social connections — especially when distance, travel, or shift work make it hard to stay connected.

  • We also provide exposure-based support to help you face avoidance, navigate difficult transitions, and stay grounded through changing work cycles.

Physical Recovery & Injury Support

  • We help you manage pain, prevent flare-ups, and adapt your movement so you can keep working.

  • Our sessions focus on practical tools and strategies to support your recovery and maintain your function on the job — not equipment or workplace modifications.

Functional Assessments

  • We help you understand how your environment, routines, and symptoms affect your daily life.

  • Our virtual assessments identify barriers and offer practical, achievable strategies to improve safety, comfort, and independence — with support for physical, cognitive and emotional needs.
