About OTRS
We are a team of dedicated health care professionals who are passionate about helping people to live the best life they can, participating in all their chosen activities to the full extent of their abilities.
Nothing gives us more fulfillment than empowering people to achieve their goals.
We believe it is not a person's condition that disables them, but their environment. Our ethos is about changing the physical environment and perceptions and enabling the person to learn new skills and practical solutions to deal with barriers that they are faced with, which increases their ability and therefore their independence.
Our qualified team are able to assist you with Medical Driving Assessments, Commercial Vehicle Driving Assessments, Workplace Wellness and Workstation Assessments, Safety at Home and Housing Assessments, in addition to Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Nursing Assessments.
Our services are available throughout the Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Coromandel, Auckland,Taranaki and King Country regions.
"Our perceptions and the way in which we approach a person as well as the environment in which they live in is what can create a disability. We should focus on breaking down barriers; physical and perception, and look to enabling people to achieve their full potential" - Craig Harington
