🌿 July 24th is International Self-Care Day 🌿

A reminder that taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. 💛💙

As a team of Occupational Therapists, we know firsthand that self-care goes beyond bubble baths and face masks. It’s about creating sustainable routines, building habits that support mental and physical health, and adapting environments to meet your needs—whatever they may be.

Whether it's learning to pace your day, preparing meals, managing sensory input, or simply taking time to rest without guilt, OT helps people build self-care into their everyday lives in meaningful, achievable ways.

Today, let's honour all forms of self-care—especially the quiet, practical ones that keep us going. 🌱

✨ Occupational Therapy is different ✨

We ask,
“What matters to you?”
Not,
“What’s the matter with you?” 💬

Because your goals, your values, and your life lead the way. 💛💙

🧠✨ A full and fulfilling day of rehab with one of our fab client!

We started with some much-needed bedroom reorganisation to make the space calmer and more functional 💫—everything feels a bit lighter already and the client loves their new, relaxing space.

Next up: a food shop and meal prep session 🛒🥦🍲
Planning meals together made it less overwhelming and much more doable.

In the afternoon, we joined an autism-friendly local colouring group, which gave us a chance to unwind and connect with others in a low-pressure setting 🎨💙.

We ended the day on a peaceful note with a dog walk to the local stream 🐾🌿—exactly what was needed to reset and breathe.

✨ Here are two of our OTs Rachel & Rosie who had an incredible time at the Manchester Autism & ADHD Show recently!

It was amazing for them to be able to connect with so many passionate individuals, families, and professionals who are dedicated to supporting the neurodivergent community. 💬🧠

🌿 Last Weeks Occupational Therapy session was full of meaningful moments and hands-on healing! 🐴🥕🛒

We started the day connecting with nature at Happy hooves Lincs CIC — interacting with the horses, gently placing the guinea pigs into their cosy new home, and giving some TLC to our donkeys and goat during a clean-up session. 💚🐐

Then it was off to the shops for a real-world task: food shopping! Our client practiced planning, budgeting, and decision-making — all essential daily living skills. 🧾🛒

Back at the clients home, we wrapped up the session with some meal prep, building confidence in the kitchen while promoting independence, motor skills, and healthy habits. 🍽️💪

Each activity had purpose. Each moment, meant progress.
This is what functional, empowering therapy looks like. 🌟

✨ Occupational Therapy ✨
Where hopeless becomes hope,
can’t transforms into can,
and the impossible becomes possible.

Because every step forward is a victory. 💛

💙June the 27th is National PTSD Awareness Day!💙

🧠💪 Here Is How Occupational Therapy Supports PTSD Recovery 💛🌿

PTSD isn't just in the mind—it affects the whole body, daily routines, and quality of life. Occupational Therapists (OTs) help individuals with PTSD regain control, safety, and function in everyday life.

Here’s how we can help here at Potential OT:

🧩 Regulation & Coping Strategies
Learn sensory-based techniques, grounding exercises, and body-based tools to manage triggers and reduce anxiety.

🛌 Sleep & Routine Restoration
Rebuild healthy sleep habits, daily routines, and self-care practices that trauma often disrupts.

💬 Safe Spaces for Expression
Engage in meaningful, therapeutic activities—art, movement, nature, or mindfulness—to process trauma in a non-verbal, regulated way.

🧠 Environmental Modifications
OTs help adapt spaces (home, school, or work) to feel safer, calmer, and more supportive for healing.

🤝 Holistic, Client-Centered Support
OT looks at the whole person—not just the symptoms—to help rebuild life skills, roles, and confidence at your own pace.

Healing from PTSD is a journey—and OT is here to walk with you. 💚

"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." – Annie Dillard

In OT, we believe that the smallest daily tasks—getting dressed, making a meal, connecting with others—are the building blocks of a meaningful life. 💬🧠💪

We help people make every day count. 🫶

☀️🌊 Summer Sensory Strategies to Help Kids Cool Down 🧠🧊

Hot weather + sensory overload = a tough combo for many kids 😰

Here are sensory integration-based strategies to help your child stay cool, calm, and regulated this summer:

💛Water Play for Regulation - Sprinklers, splash pads, water tables, or even a bucket and sponges! Cool water offers both temperature relief AND soothing tactile input. 💦
💙Frozen Sensory Trays - Hide toys in frozen blocks, offer frozen rice or corn for digging, or make slushy textures to explore with hands or feet. Great for tactile seekers! 🧊
💛Cold Oral Motor Input - Try ice pops, smoothies, or frozen fruit—chewing cold/crunchy textures can help calm the nervous system from the inside out. 🍓🍧
💙Cooling Clothing - Put a weighted lap pad in the fridge and use this during a quiet time. ❄️
💛Nature Breaks - Find shade under trees, feel cool grass under bare feet, or do some grounding walks in early morning or late afternoon/evening. 🌿👣

Summer doesn’t have to mean sensory overload. With the right tools, it can be refreshing and fun for every nervous system! ☀️🌈
