Happy World Occupational Therapy Day! 🌍✨

Today, we celebrate the incredible OTs who empower people to live their fullest lives through meaningful activities. From supporting mental health recovery to helping adults regain independence after injury, occupational therapists transform everyday moments into opportunities for growth and healing.

Thank you to all the OTs who see potential where others see limitations, who adapt environments and activities with creativity and compassion, and who champion the belief that everyone deserves to participate in the activities that matter most to them.

Here's to the professionals who help us all engage in life—one meaningful activity at a time. 💙

Growing older doesn't have to mean leaving the home you love. "Aging in place" — the ability to live safely and independently in your own home and community as you age — is becoming an increasingly important goal for older adults and healthcare systems alike. And occupational therapists (OTs) are uniquely positioned to make this goal a reality.

It's about maintaining independence, dignity, and connection to your community while adapting to the natural changes that come with aging. It means being able to continue the activities that give your life meaning — whether that's cooking your favourite meals, tending to your garden, or having coffee with neighbours — all while remaining in the familiar environment you call home.

With over 6.8 million Canadians over the age of 65, our healthcare system faces a significant shortage of long-term care facilities. Currently, there are only 2,076 long-term care homes across Canada, with just 29 LTC beds available per 1,000 seniors. This gap makes aging in place not just a preference for many older adults, but increasingly a practical necessity.

OTs specialize in helping people maintain independence and participate meaningfully in daily life. When it comes to aging in place, they offer comprehensive support that addresses both the physical environment and the person's abilities:
* Home Safety Assessments and Modifications
* Functional Skills Training
* Activity and Exercise Programs
* Assistive Technology and Equipment
* Community Connection

Some of our staff were out biking at Sun Peaks this past weekend and were amazed by what the mountain has done to create space for adaptive biking. Kamloops is such a mecca for biking, where cyclists come from far and wide to experience what's right in our backyard.

It's incredible to see how adaptive sports can give someone a piece of their life back or help them develop a new passion they never explored before! These programs create meaningful opportunities to spend time with family and discover what you're capable of. Adaptive biking is for everyone—whether you have a spinal cord injury, are an amputee, recovering from a lower leg injury, or simply cross-training!

Adaptive Sports Sun Peaks and Kamloops Adapted Sports Association/Pacific Sport are local non-profits that help individuals gain access to adaptive equipment, training, and advocacy for accessible sport.

Ever felt like you're putting on a "mask" to fit in? This is actually a common mental health experience!

Masking happens when people hide their true feelings, or struggles to appear "normal" in social situations.

While masking helps us navigate social situations, it comes at a cost. It's exhausting, can lead to burnout, and disconnects us from our authentic selves.
Remember: It's okay to take off your mask sometimes. The right people will appreciate the real you.

When you care about it, we care about it.

Ever wondered what occupational therapy actually is? It's not just about jobs—it's about empowering you to participate fully in the activities that matter most in your life.

Occupational therapists are healthcare professionals who work across the lifespan and in countless settings. They help children develop fine motor skills needed for writing and self-care. For adults recovering from workplace injuries, motor vehicle accidents or surgery, OTs design rehabilitation programs to restore function and independence. They assist seniors in adapting their homes to prevent falls and maintain quality of life. OTs develop strategies for those with chronic pain to manage daily activities while preserving energy. They help people with mental health conditions build coping skills and establish healthy routines. OTs also work with individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities to enhance life skills and social participation. From customizing assistive devices to consulting on workplace ergonomics, OTs address the full spectrum of functional challenges that impact meaningful participation in life.

From relearning daily living skills after a stroke to creating sensory-friendly environments for children on the spectrum, OT is about focusing on what's meaningful to YOU. When you care about it, we care about it.

This week, is shining a spotlight on the daily challenges faced by the 8 million Canadians living with chronic pain.

Chronic pain is an invisible epidemic affecting 1 in 5 Canadians. It's a debilitating condition that can impact every aspect of a person's life - from work and relationships to basic self-care and quality of life. Many people with chronic pain struggle just to get through the day. Simple tasks like getting dressed, cooking a meal, or running errands can become monumental challenges. The fatigue, brain fog, and mobility issues caused by chronic pain make it hard to maintain an independent lifestyle. Chronic pain often leads to depression, anxiety, and feelings of isolation. Relationships suffer as the person in pain withdraws from their support network.

We must do more to address this silent epidemic and ensure those in pain receive the care, resources, and support they need. Everyone deserves equitable care!

At Smart Rehab we take a multi-disciplinary approach to managing chronic pain through occupational therapy, kinesiology and clinical counselling.
- Teach pain and energy management techniques
- Activity assessment and progression
- Building strength and mobility safely
- Providing emotional support and a safe space for patients to explore pain's impact
