Services

Careful assessment. Individual treatment.

Every course of therapy begins with a thorough occupational therapy assessment. Building on this, we develop an individual treatment plan oriented to the needs, resources and goals of the child or adult.

01

Occupational therapy for children

We support children with extensive experience, professional expertise and an open eye for their individual development. Our treatment is based on well-founded therapeutic concepts and oriented to the child’s abilities, interests and everyday world. Close cooperation with parents and caregivers is a central part of our work.

02

Occupational therapy for ADD / ADHD

Children with ADD or ADHD need individual solutions. Together we develop practical everyday strategies that support self-regulation, action planning and independence. Actively involving parents lays the foundation for changes to take lasting effect beyond the therapy itself.

03

ADHD parent training (private-pay service)

Structured parent training based on current scientific findings. The aim is a better understanding of ADHD symptoms and the development of effective strategies for a confident and relieving approach in everyday family life.

04

Cognitive training

Occupational cognitive training for neurological conditions, dementia or neuropsychological impairments. With individually tailored approaches we support the preservation and improvement of cognitive functions and the ability to act in everyday life. Advice for relatives and practical everyday recommendations are an important part of the treatment.

05

Hand therapy & rehabilitation

Evidence-based hand therapy after injuries, operations or with chronic conditions of the upper limb. Using modern manual therapy techniques and functional treatment approaches, we work specifically on mobility, strength, sensitivity and a lasting restoration of hand function.

06

Neurological occupational therapy

Occupational therapy for stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions. The aim is to maintain or restore the greatest possible independence and to support relatives in dealing with the changed demands of everyday life.

07

Psycho-functional occupational therapy

Trauma-sensitive, client-centred occupational therapy for mental health conditions such as depression, burnout, trauma-related disorders, borderline personality disorder or ADHD. The aim is to improve self-regulation, emotional stability and the ability to act, and to provide lasting support for participation in everyday and working life.

08

Home visits

Where there is a corresponding medical prescription and – depending on our practice’s capacity – we also carry out occupational therapy home visits in your own home. This allows therapy to take place where it is most effective for your individual everyday life.

Additional services

Private-pay services

In addition to our occupational therapy offering, we provide individual counselling and assessment services for adults, parents and families. These services are available by prior appointment only and, on request, also online.

Conflict and crisis coaching

Systemically oriented support in challenging life situations, aimed at developing new perspectives and working out individual solutions.

Family counselling and family sessions

Support with family conflicts, parenting questions and stressful changes – with a systemic view of relationships and resources.

Occupational therapy assessment for children

Comprehensive occupational therapy assessment to evaluate developmental level, sensory processing, action planning and everyday skills – including detailed feedback and recommendations for the next steps.

Parent counselling for ADHD and sensory processing difficulties

Individual counselling to understand the condition and develop practical, everyday strategies for dealing with the challenges at home and at school.

Online counselling available

All private-pay services can also be carried out online by individual arrangement.

The Practice

Occupational therapy means making everyday action possible again

Whether a child is struggling at school, a hand needs to learn to grip again after surgery, or everyday life has to be reorganised after a stroke – occupational therapy starts where it matters to you.

Gesine Spanke (B.Sc.) runs the practice ergo IM ZENTRUM at two locations in Berlin‑Treptow, treating patients of all ages – in the practice and, where needed, at home.

“Our goal is your greatest possible independence in everyday life – at home, at school and at work.”
