Podcasts about occupational therapy month

Continuing our celebration of Occupational Therapy Month, this week we chat with FOX Rehabilitation's Cristina Klymasz, MS, OTR/L, CBIS, RYT, CLT-LANA, MSCS, who talks about incorporating yoga into her occupational therapy sessions. Cristina details how a team morale event at a yoga studio made her realize how much it could benefit her patients. Being the go-getter she is, Cristina got her yoga license—not with dreams of opening her studio—but with the main intent of helping her patients. Cristina admits some patients are skeptical when the concept of yoga is brought up. Still, the results are turning doubters into believers, especially with its numerous benefits, including helping patients with their balance. Cristina also discusses how she will be spending Occupational Therapy Month and what kind of personality generally gravitates to being an OT.

Health Matters is a weekly radio show sponsored by the Medicine Center Pharmacy on WHBC 1480 AM in Canton, Ohio. This episode pharmacists Brad White and Paul White discuss occupational therapy services from the Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital with Emily Winstead. During the month of April, Occupational Therapy Month recognizes all the benefits this specialized healthcare provides, but many of us do not know what an Occupational Therapist does or how their care benefits our lives.   When injury strikes or long-term wear of joints and muscles require rehabilitation, an occupational therapist (also known as OTs) provides the necessary exercises to get us back into our daily routines. Simply getting out of bed may be a challenge or moving from one position to another becomes a problem we need to overcome. OTs have studied the movements required to make these transitions happen safely and to retrain our newly repaired body part to do the job. They know the therapies to help improve weakened muscles and alternatives when others fail us.   For every age and ability, occupational therapists provide care to improve the quality of life for each patient.  This morning we will talk with Emily about the services an Occupational Therapist provides. Tune in to this edition of Health Matters to Learn about Occupational Therapy: What injuries or diagnoses might indicate a person needs the help of an occupational therapist and how do you evaluate those needs? How has the Covid-19 Pandemic impacted occupational therapy practice? What types of things would Occupational Therapy help with following a stroke? How does OT differ from Physical and Speech therapy and how can they complement each other? What is the purpose of Occupational Therapy following a total joint replacement? https://www.medshoprx.com/blog/what-does-an-occupational-therapist-do

Join us for a fascinating conversation about how OT's support folks in the physical, psychological, neurological and social factors that influence health and wellbeing.

Whether you are a parent or hope to be a parent someday, we all have assumptions about what pregnancy should be like. What we can’t control is how it will go in reality and how we will feel during the process. Today’s show explores how the journey can be navigated when unexpected circumstances creep in and sabotage our well-crafted plans. Leora Rozin felt blindsided and lost when welcoming her first child in 2012. She wishes she had someone with her background as an occupational therapist to help her navigate pregnancy and postpartum. After having a second child in 2014, Leora was expecting another child in 2019 when a fetal diagnosis at the 21-week anatomy scan rocked her world. This experience ultimately became a source of motivation to become certified in Perinatal Mental Health. Today, Leora is passionate about helping moms when their pregnancy and postpartum journeys feel off course. She lives in New York with her family and is the proud mom of three busy kids. Since April is Occupational Therapy Month, I’m excited to share Leora’s life and work in today’s show. Show Highlights: Leora’s first pregnancy in 2011: a breech baby prompted an emergency C-section and a cascade of events that she wasn’t prepared for In the postpartum, Leora struggle with pain control, feeding the baby, and daily duties; she felt isolated and alone How Leora reached out to her pediatrician for support and got immediate help How Leora never realized the magnitude of stress, adjustment, physical recovery, and the total reorganization of her life Two years later, she had her second child, and she felt more successful and better prepared How the management of two kids, a household, and a job was challenging in unexpected ways How Leora shifted her work as an OT to focus on pregnancy and postpartum The link between postpartum issues and the lack of self-care Why we can’t ignore the “middle space” between function and dysfunction in the lives of new mothers Why Leora’s work focuses on proper support for at-risk mothers How to find an OT who can help you After a miscarriage, Leora was pregnant with her third child when the 21-week scan showed an omphalocele, a severe abdominal wall defect After further tests and an immediate amniocentesis, Leora was able to share her story and find an outpouring of support Why it became Leora’s mission to help every woman in pregnancy and postpartum never to feel alone Update: Leora’s daughter was born and had surgery just a few hours after birth; she spent only six days in the NICU and is now a happy, healthy one-year-old Leora’s words to parents: You are not alone. We each have a unique journey, so just know that you should seek support from friends and family and trained professionals.

Each year, I spend a week on the JoCo Cruise. I talked about it last year in Episode 4, and this year was just as amazing. This year, I also met Robin Wilson-Beattie on the boat. She is a speaker, writer, and educator working at the intersection of disability and sexuality. We sat down on the ship's art gallery to talk about these issues and how they impact stroke survivors and other folks with disabilities. We met up on cosplay day which explains why Robin was in her full Wakandan warrior regalia. Probably. Bio Robin came into the world able-bodied, but had a birth defect that resulted in a spinal aneurysm. After scheduling surgery to fix the aneurysm, she learned she was pregnant. During the surgery, she acquired a spinal cord injury that resulted in partial paralysis. She continues to recover while living in San Francisco and helping folks with disabilities navigate the world of sex. Hack of the Week Robin recommends Amazon Prime and Delivery for folks living with disabilities. Considering the amount of energy (or spoons) it can take to leave the house for something as simple as groceries, taking full advantage of delivery services can make a huge difference in what else folks with disabilities can accomplish during the day. It's not lazy. It's smart. It lets you preserve that energy to focus on your recovery. Or your work. Or time with your family. Or whatever else may bring long-term value into your life. April is Occupational Therapy Month If you're still in OT, and you like your therapists, tell them how you appreciate the work they do. If you're no longer in OT, consider sending them a message or note telling them about where you are today. OTs, especially from early in our recovery don't often hear back from former patients and are delighted to get updates.

April is Occupational Therapy Month and I have been an Occupational Therapist for about 9 years now. I often see yoga teachers going back to school for Physical Therapy, and PT is great, BUT I think that Occupational Therapy is a BETTER compliment to what you do as a yoga teacher. I explain why I think OT & Yoga go together better and how being an OT can lead to a career as a Yoga Therapist. In an upcoming April episode I will be talking to my good friend and fellow OT: Dr. Alanna Pisani about sensory integration and how this can compliment any yoga practice.

In this episode we talk about the shift that is happening in modern yoga from dictating what you "should" feel in any part of your practice to focusing on the experience of what you DO feel. This shift in teaching and learning yoga is working on empowering the student to fully experience the practice and therefore adapt it to their own needs - instead of what "ideal" alignment dictates. Redford (my dog) makes a few guest appearances in the episode! Next month is Occupational Therapy Month & I will have a special guest on to talk about where Yoga and Occupational Therapy intersect. < *< < < < * > > > > *> Work with Laura Online: I am now offering yoga instruction, yoga therapy and teacher mentoring on two different virtual platforms: Fit My Time: https://www.fitmytime.com/en/laurag Schedulicity & Zoom: https://www.schedulicity.com/scheduling/LGY7U6 < *< < < < * > > > > *> Laura’s Book: “Yoga Therapy At The Wall” is available in 2 formats: Instant PDF download from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/HealthyFocusByLauraG Full Color Printed Manual from LuLu.com: https://www.lulu.com/shop/search.ep?keyWords=yoga+therapy+at+the+wall&type= < *< < < < * > > > > *> YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/LauraGYoga/featured Instagram: @LauraGyoga or @Yoga_At_The_Wall Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lauragyoga/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LauraGYoga/?ref=bookmarks BLOGspot: https://lauragyoga.blogspot.com/ Spotify Music Playlists: https://open.spotify.com/user/1291821362 Laura’s Website: www.LauraGyoga.com Yoga Focus PODCAST: https://anchor.fm/yogafocus < *< < < < * > > > > *> This is Our TRAVEL & Tiny House Lifestyle channel on YouTube: “Let New Adventures Begin” https://www.youtube.com/c/letnewadventuresbegin Support our work on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LauraGyoga --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/yogafocus/support
