We are embarking on an exciting journey to see how our Occupational Therapy services can make a difference in the lives of Every Body.

As a family-run establishment, we bring forth years of experience to provide compassionate and personalised care to the people of Brisbane.

Our Story

Every Body OT is a values-driven Occupational Therapy practice committed to helping individuals overcome challenges and reach their full potential.

Founded by Alexander, an experienced Occupational Therapist with a background in both public and private sectors, our practice has grown to include a small team of like-minded therapists who share a passion for person-centred, evidence-based care.

From the beginning, the vision for Every Body OT has been clear: to create a space where therapy is grounded in real connection, practical support, and meaningful outcomes. Our therapists bring diverse experience supporting individuals with physical, intellectual, and psychosocial disabilities, and are united by a belief in the importance of personalised care.

At Every Body OT, we take the time to understand your unique story, strengths, and goals. We work collaboratively to provide the tools, strategies, and support needed to navigate life’s challenges and build greater independence, confidence, and wellbeing.

While he’s yet to master answering phones or replying to emails, he excels at boosting team spirits, attending meetings (when snacks are involved), and reminding us all to take regular breaks.
