Fun OT fact! 🙌 Occupational Therapy began in mental health, but WWI changed everything — OTs helped soldiers heal from physical injuries, shaping the broad and vital field we know today.

💧 Let’s Talk Hydration! 💧

Water is one of the simplest ways to boost your health! It helps your body work better by improving circulation, reducing strain on your heart, and even keeping your joints lubricated to decrease pain and stiffness.

If you’re feeling tired, dizzy, or getting headaches — you might be dehydrated. And here’s the kicker: if you’re already thirsty, you’re likely already dehydrated!

🚰 Quick Hydration Tips:
💦 Start your morning with a glass of water.
💦 Have water with every meal.
💦 Aim for 8 glasses a day (or about ⅓ of your body weight in ounces).
💦 Keep a water bottle handy and refill it often.
💦 Drink extra if you’re working out or sweating more than usual.

Check your urine color, too — it should be light yellow, not dark or brown.

Stay hydrated, feel better, and keep your body moving strong! 💪

here are the benefits of correct lifting techniques in physical therapy (for patients or staff):

🩺 Reduces risk of reinjury – Proper body mechanics protect healing tissues and prevent setbacks during recovery.
💪 Builds functional strength safely – Encourages using the right muscles (like legs and core) instead of compensating with weaker areas.
🦵 Improves movement patterns – Reinforces good habits for everyday activities like bending, carrying, and standing up.
🧠 Promotes body awareness – Patients learn how to control and coordinate movements with purpose and stability.
⚖️ Improves balance and posture – Correct lifting activates stabilizing muscles that support alignment and coordination.
🏥 Prevents therapist injury – For clinicians, proper lifting technique protects the back and joints during patient transfers or heavy tasks.
🌟 Boosts confidence and independence – Patients feel safer and more capable performing daily tasks correctly.
🫁 Encourages proper breathing – Coordinating breath with movement helps maintain spinal stability and reduces tension.
