#happyotmonth 🥳. What is occupational therapy? #happyotmonth 🥳. What is occupational therapy? 💗 It helps people to develop or relearn a skill that they need to live life in a meaningful fulfilled way 🥰. This could be a physical skill such as getting dressed, cooking, stop smoking, decreasing pain 😖 or even just kicking a ball. OT also helps with emotional or mental skill building such as decreasing anxiety, depression 😔, socializing with others and self care. 

We help with the part of life that leaves you feeling stuck so that you can live a quality filled life....life to the fullest!😊 #occupationaltherapy #occupationaltherapyadvocaccy #ota #otas #physicaldisabilities #otmh #otr #otrehab #otmonth #ataxia #apraxia #physicaltherapy #aota #njota #pota @pota4ot @nj_ot_association @aota @cotad_diversity #covidanxiety #coviddisability
Sometimes just switching from a rollator to a roll Sometimes just switching from a rollator to a rolling walker can decrease fear of falling 😩 and anxiety 😧because it allows for more control and improved center of gravity when ambulating with the device.

You see, anxiety 😖 and fear 😟 can cause the body to fatigue alot faster than if the body was calm when completing a task because muscles are tense and contracted and breaths are many times shallow. When anxiety is low, the individual can concentrate on the task at hand and not falling.

A rollator can be taken just in case a seated rest break is needed...but it wasnt....PROGRESS! 🥰 #fearoffalling #rollator #rollingwalker #occupationaltherapy #dme #seniorliving #independentliving #geriatrics #otmonth2021

More of the country is getting snow. Here are a fe More of the country is getting snow. Here are a few tips to avoid injury

1. Avoid excessive bending at the low back and over.

2. Bend with your knees and lift with your legs. Do not lift with your back!

3. Keep your elbows tucked into your sides.

4. If you need to turn, when carrying the snow, do so with your legs, do not twist with your body/back.

5. Take small loads of snow to make sure you are not lifting too much at one time.

7. Pace yourself and take frequent rest breaks.

8. Ask for help, if you need it.
