Why choose #OccupationalTherapy as YOUR profession? Join #OccupationalTherapyAssistant Coty as he reflects on his journey: "The most memorable OT moment in my career was with a patient I treated who had COPD. This woman was very lonely and felt isolated in her home. When she received the COPD diagnosis, she gave up 90% of all leisure activities and never left her home. Through energy conservation and community resources, we were able to help her gain her independence and social life back, even attending a family reunion. Her smiles and tears at discharge were well deserved. It does not get much better than that." Learn more about occupational therapy: https://ow.ly/vhtb50QRGyB #OccupationalTherapy #WhyChooseOT

Do you struggle with everyday tasks like getting dressed or cooking meals due to an injury, illness, or disability? Occupational therapy (OT) can empower you to regain independence and improve your quality of life. Here's how: ➡️ An occupational therapist (OT) will first assess your unique challenges and goals in daily activities like bathing, dressing, or cooking. ➡️ Together, you'll set realistic and achievable goals that matter to you, whether it's regaining the ability to drive or participating in your favorite hobbies. ➡️ The OT will then tailor a therapy plan using various strategies - from adapting your environment with assistive devices to practicing specific skills and routines. ➡️ OT empowers you to take control of your daily life, fostering confidence and self-reliance through practical solutions and skill development. #stonestarhealth #mentalhealth #physicaltherapy #rehabilitation #depressiontreatment #anxietyhelp #painrelief #massagetherapy #occupationaltherapy #veteranscare #holistichealth #wellnessrecovery #tms therapy #lifestylecoaching

💡4 years ago I began sharing lessons from my unique, formative and traumatic experiences as a novice hand therapist with occupational therapy students at Thomas Jefferson University. 🤦🏾♀️ I wish the content of this article I wrote in 2019 was no longer relevant. 🫀I am hopeful that my writings and lectures help chip away at the ignorance, bias and prejudice that underlies such experiences. #occupationaltherapy #education #handtherapy #article #bias #dei

On today's #HumansofCSH, we'd like to introduce you to Hamilton Outpatient Occupational Therapist Stephanie Dorgan! “Being an occupational therapist means helping children and families feel calm, confident, regulated, and empowered in their own bodies and in their day-to-day lives. As occupational therapists, we are able to address sensory processing, fine motor skills, visual motor skills, body awareness, overall regulation, and much much more. Being an occupational therapist (OT), I have the opportunity to share my knowledge and encouragement to empower families, parents, caregivers, and children on how to help their child reach their fullest potential, advocate for their needs, and participate in their most meaningful activities. The most fun fact (in my opinion) about how the profession of OT started is that it started, historically, in the arts and crafts movement. There is a famous quote that reads, “Man, through the use of his hands, as they are energized by mind and will, can influence the state of his own health. By Mary Reilly.” This quote is so important in regard to occupational therapy because the ability to move, utilize, and create with your hands and body to do the things you love directly impacts your mental health and well-being. As an OT, I have the honor of helping children do the things that they love."

🌟 Ever wondered how Occupational Therapists determine an individual’s ability to perform various tasks and activities? ⭐ 🔷 Enter the Functional Capacity Assessment! 🔷 A Functional Capacity Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that measures an individual’s physical strengths, weaknesses, and capabilities. It’s often used to determine fitness for work, rehabilitation needs, or disability claims. The assessment involves a series of tests, practices, and observations to evaluate your physical ability to function in different areas. Remember, a Functional Capacity Assessment is not just about measuring what you can’t do, it’s about understanding what you CAN do! 💪 #FunctionalCapacityAssessment #Healthcare #Rehabilitation #Strength #Endurance #statewiderehab #occupationaltherapy #functionalcapacity
