It is Occupational Therapy month!

The core of occupational therapy is not well understood unless you have experienced the fear of not being able to live your life. OT provides a new way of doing when the old way is no longer possible.

Honored to be part of a profession who work to support our veterans when they return home. Love OT.

Did you know that 50% of your grip strength comes from the pinky finger? Anatomy based self defense technique : If someone has a hold of you, pull the pinky finger back. It will weaken their grasp and allow you to break free.

Rotator Cuff Injury
Scapula weakness leads to tendinitis, tendinitis leads to impingement and impingement leads to tears. Protect your shoulder if you are experiencing pain. Daily activities which can aggravate this type of shoulder pain include pouring coffee from a pitcher, lifting a heavy item with a straight arm above shoulder height and sleeping with your arms over your head. Targeted therapy can teach you how to modify and strengthen weak scapula muscles to prevent worsening of pain symptoms.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: Symptoms usually include pain when attempting to grasp or hold an object. Tingling or numbness in the middle three fingers may also cause difficulty sleeping. A custom splint can allow the flexor tendons rest in an optimal position, prevent further aggravation to the median nerve and possibly help you avoid surgery.
