The evidence supports the use of occupation-based interventions to maximize outcomes. I also think that the use of occupation-based and activity-based interventions demonstrates OT's distinct value and increases client's participation in OT services.

But in the meantime, watch the video to hear what we should be doing for people on bed rest – spoiler alert, it’s not ‘nothing’. If you’d like to find out more about the OT role in pressure care, come along to this month’s live journal club session – the event link you need is in the comments, or send me a DM if you have trouble finding it!

After becoming a licensed occupational therapist, I will take continuing education courses to expand my knowledge and stay current with the most effective treatment interventions. While spending time on the surgical intensive care unit during my level II fieldwork, I have seen many patients with spinal cord injuries. One course I am interested in taking is “Spinal Cord Injury: Splinting”. This course will provide me with information on splinting options for resting positioning and function. For these patients, it is important to prevent contractures and spasticity as well as improve mobility. #SHUOT2024

I am so motivated to support other OTs in positioning our contribution and thinking in the social prescribing space. I have mixed feelings about the word 'prescribing' because my current thinking is that it feels like a power imbalance, however I also understand the strategic benefit of getting on board with something that has existing momentum. I also appreciate for so many people it can be hard to prioritise our wellbeing, and sometimes a 'prescription' comes with permission. I think occupational therapists are so well positioned to be curious, walk alongside our clients (whether individuals, families, organisations or other collectives) and provide the space to listen to our clients about what creates wellbeing for them. As Ann Wilcock and Clare Hocking would say - 'working with the causes of wellbeing'. These are informed by models like this but also individualised, nuances, culture and context informed. I've looked at a lot of wellbeing models over the last 10 years and I (of course) gravitate to the ones that include nature connection as a key determinant for wellbeing - because that's what the evidence tells us. This model is particularly holistic too. Janette Dunn I think you'll appreciate the inclusion of reduction in toxins, as we explore how important that is for nervous system regulation. Gosh I love our holistic OT lens. Thanks for sharing this Ivory Rose, OTD
Last week, I had the pleasure of presenting about social prescribing to a community of practice of occupational therapists who specialize in lifestyle medicine I have always loved this wellness wheel by Rochester Lifestyle Medicine Institute (although I have now come to view the "sections" of the wheel as more overlapping than separated). I think there is great potential for collaboration here! #occupationaltherapy #lifestylemedicine #socialprescribing

3moSeriously, I’m astonished by the care partners and their stroke survivors. Talk about codependency. In 2008, my catastrophic massive stroke brain had a golf-sized hole due to a blood clot exploded due a car accident. My narcissistic ex-wife fled my three children and let my parents, my sister and my friends pick up the pieces of our shattered lives. She returned only to maligned my family. In slowly motions, she didn’t care my children, our home, my mute & cripple self, she moved my children into her parents’ condo, her took her ex-boyfriend as a lover and wanted a divorce (2 years past my stroke). I am my own caretaker. I take care of my little ones, back then. Now, I talked to them by FaceTime. I work hard to pronunciation my sentences and strength my muscle groups. Today, I run my own therapeutic design studio. I make my own food, clean my own home, I date, go to tango lessons, I hop on a plane to visit my teenagers and parents. Why don’t you suggest your stroke survivors’ care partners leave them alone while their stroke survivors go for a walk, cook dinner, make the bed, take a shower, go on a bus to the mall, speak to a stranger……. Let’s see what happens….
