Real Life Rehab with Reach At Reach, we're revolutionising Brain Injury Rehabilitation through our commitment to "Real-Life Rehab Takes Place in the Real World." 🧠 🏡 Home is Where the Healing Begins Why confine rehabilitation to clinical settings when life happens at home and in the community? Reach believes in the power of bringing Occupational Therapy (OT) directly to where it matters the most – your home. 🏡 👨👩👧👦 Fostering Independence in Familiar Surroundings We understand the significance of familiar surroundings in the healing process. By conducting rehabilitation in the home or community, our clients navigate real-world challenges, regain independence, and build confidence within the context of their daily lives. 🤝 Collaborative and Contextualised Care Our therapists work closely with clients and their families, tailoring interventions to address specific challenges unique to their home environment. This collaborative approach ensures a seamless integration of rehabilitation strategies into daily routines, making progress more meaningful and sustainable. 🌈 Empowering Lives Beyond Clinic Walls Rehabilitation isn't a one-size-fits-all process. By extending our services beyond traditional clinic settings, we break down barriers and reach individuals where they are most comfortable. This approach is not just about recovery; it's about embracing life with purpose. #RealLifeRehab #OccupationalTherapy #BrainInjuryRehabilitation #HomeRehabilitation

When therapists work together, the result will always be greater than the sum of its parts.

What does rehabilitation look like for people with a spinal cord injury (SCI)? While it differs for everybody, rehab is about teamwork and helping patients get used to life with less moving and feeling. Rehab for SCIs often involves: 💪 Physical therapy to build strength & mobility 🤏 Occupational therapy for fine motor skills 🗣 Speech therapy for breathing & speech issues Falling Forward proudly offers comprehensive rehabilitation for SCI survivors when their insurance stops paying. #Rehabilitation #SCI #FallingForward

While physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy primarily focus on rehabilitation and improving function in different areas of the body, they indirectly benefit kidney health. PT can help manage musculoskeletal issues that may arise from kidney disease or treatment, such as muscle weakness or joint pain. OT assists in adapting daily activities to accommodate changes in physical abilities, promoting independence, and reducing stress. ST can aid in managing swallowing difficulties or speech problems that may occur due to kidney-related conditions or treatments. Incorporating these therapies into a comprehensive care plan can contribute to better overall well-being for individuals with kidney health issues. #ahatherapy #therapyrevolution #NationalKidneyMonth

To mark Stroke Awareness Month, we explore the life-altering impact of stroke, the critical importance of timely intervention and neurorehabilitation and the role medico-legal experts play. 🔵 Neurorehabilitation is a vital component of stroke recovery, focusing on helping survivors restore function and adapt to new limitations, while promoting independence and enhancing quality of life as much as possible. 🔵 It involves a multidisciplinary approach, including physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychological support. For teams handling medico-legal cases involving stroke survivors, understanding the role and impact of neurorehabilitation is essential to ensure they can advocate for their clients effectively. 🔗 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/eYcgkBC7 #ActionOnStrokeMonth2024 #StrokeAwareness.

March is #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth, a time to spread awareness around brain injuries and accompanying symptoms.

Given that sensory processing and EF skills are neurologically and functionally interrelated (Nakajima et al., 2019; Romero-Ayuso et al., 2018), occupational therapists must be able to integrate knowledge of sensory processing with a strong understanding of how to facilitate development of these executive processes. Register for the 2-part webinar series presented by Lindy Joffe Smith on April 15 and 22, 2024 to explores the intersection of sensory processing and executive function (EF) in children with regulatory challenges and overviews a novel therapy approach- https://buff.ly/3TcHfLw Part 1 focuses on the underlying theoretical and neurological foundations that underlie this evidence-based approach. Part 2 overviews the QUEST Program (Joffe, 2022), an evidence-based intervention, building off the theoretical and neurological foundation provided in Part 1. #OT365 #occupationaltherapy #OT #occupationaltherapist #OTA
