With over 20 years of experience as an occupational therapist, Rittu has worked extensively across hospital, rehabilitation, and community settings. Her practice now centers on Functional Capacity Evaluations (FCEs) and Comprehensive Abilities Evaluations (CAEs), where she provides detailed, evidence-based assessments to support return-to-work planning and functional recovery. Rittu brings expertise in evaluating physical, cognitive, and psychosocial factors impacting work performance, with a strong commitment to delivering clear, objective recommendations that promote safe and sustainable return-to-work outcomes.
Rittu works with individuals facing a wide range of challenges, including the lasting effects of brain injury, concussion, migraine, ongoing fatigue, and musculoskeletal conditions. She also supports those living with chronic pain and stress, helping them navigate the impact these concerns can have on daily life, relationships, and work. Her goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where clients feel understood, while guiding them toward strategies that restore confidence, function, and independence.
Rittu takes a practical and compassionate approach, tailoring strategies to meet each client’s unique needs. She provides support in managing chronic pain, conserving energy, and gradually reintroducing meaningful activities—whether cognitive, physical, or leisure-based. By helping clients develop structured routines and offering guidance through life transitions, she empowers them to build resilience and achieve sustainable progress. Her assessments, including ergonomic, wheelchair, and home safety evaluations, ensure that clients have the right tools and environments to thrive both at home and in the workplace.
