What is Occupational Therapy
What everyone should know about occupational therapy, including what it actually is! I love going to my OT sessions. I get so much out of it and learn how to use every day tasks to exercise and improve my arm. "The goal of occupational therapy is to improve the quality of life of people with physical and mental challenges. And to make that even more awesome, occupational therapists accomplish this by creating individualized treatments based on what activities and occupations

Flex Bar Fun
New toy from Jaslyn Cullen, my OT … flex bar … or wobble stick lol. I have to hold it in my bad hand and pump it up and down in a really tight movement to make the ends wobble. Quite tricky but I can do it. Uses all the muscles in my arm. Doesn’t take long doing it to wear my muscles out and feel the burn. Awesome workout. xxx Brachial Girl #brachialplexus #brachialplexusinjury #brachialplexusinjuryaustralia #erbspalsy #nerveinjury #nerves #muscles #birthinjury #nervetransfer

Bicep and Brachialis
24 Feb 2016. 8 months post nerve transfer. Biceps and Brachialis. I have to bend over because my arm hits my stomach if I’m standing straight. Stupid twisted shoulder and elbow. #brachialplexus #brachialplexusinjury #brachialplexusinjuryaustralia #erbspalsy #nerveinjury #nerves #muscles #nervetransfer #disability #brachialgirl #blog #ot #occupationaltherapy #supraspinatus #infraspinatu #Triceps #Deltoid #TeresMinor #musculocutaneous #brachialis #tricep #strength #brainsignal

Little things .... big smiles
Now that my bicep, brachialis and deltoid muscles are starting to work, I’m trying to use my hand and arm as much as possible. This week I’ve peeled and chopped carrots, made the bed, painted my toenails, opened soft drink and milk bottles, used both hands to type, written with my injured arm, baked puddings and cupcakes … and some more I can’t remember. At the moment I do things left handed and use my right hand to hold things etc, like the carrot and the nail polish bottle
