Independent OT

Sometimes the smallest gestures carry the deepest meaning. A flower from a client’s garden today after our session — a little symbol of growth, gratitude, and connection 🌸

Reminders of why I love being an OT 💓

💻 Ergonomic Desk Setup Matters!

As OTs, we spend hours writing reports, completing documentation, and supporting clients online — but how often do we check in on our own setup?

An ergonomic workspace supports your body’s natural posture, reduces fatigue, and helps prevent long-term pain or injury (hello, neck and shoulder tension 👋).

Here are some quick tips for an OT-friendly desk setup:

✨ Screen height: Top of your monitor should be at or just below eye level.
✨ Chair: Adjust so your feet are flat on the floor (or a footrest) and knees at 90°.
✨ Keyboard & mouse: Keep elbows close to your body and wrists neutral.
✨ Breaks: Move every 30–60 minutes — stretch, walk, breathe!

Remember: we teach good ergonomics every day — let’s practice what we preach! 💪
