Fageterapi

Fageterapi is a Danish term used in some healthcare and educational contexts to denote therapy delivered by a professional within a specific field. The term is not standardized in international medical literature, and its precise meaning can vary between institutions and regions.

In practice, fageterapi refers to therapeutic services provided by licensed clinicians who specialize in a discipline such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or speech-language therapy, with the aim of improving function, independence, and participation in daily life, work, or social activities.

Core activities include assessing a person’s functioning, setting goals, planning an intervention, delivering targeted techniques or activities, and periodically reevaluating progress. Interventions are individualized and may involve exercise, task modification, education, communication strategies, and the use of assistive devices.

Fageterapi often involves collaboration with other professionals, such as doctors, psychologists, educators, or social workers, to address medical, cognitive, emotional, or social needs. Practitioners usually hold professional degrees and must meet licensing or accreditation requirements in their country.

Because the term is not universally defined, readers should consult local program descriptions to determine which disciplines and methods are encompassed by fageterapi in a given setting. Related fields include occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech-language therapy.
