🧩 A puzzle here, a little colouring there! 🎨 Who knew everyday activities could support so many skills?

Puzzles and colouring are more than just relaxing ways to pass the time. They're also activities occupational therapists may use to help support:

🧠 Focus and concentration: Staying engaged with a task

✋ Fine motor skills: Practicing controlled hand and finger movements

👀 Visual perception: Recognizing shapes, patterns, and details

🤝 Hand-eye coordination: Helping your eyes and hands work together

🎨 Creativity and problem-solving: Exploring different approaches and finding solutions

Occupational therapy focuses on helping people participate in the everyday activities that matter to them, and sometimes, that can involve something as simple as a puzzle or colouring!

Want to give these activities a try at home? Grab a puzzle or your favourite colouring book and spend a few minutes doing something that's both enjoyable and engaging.

💬 Are you team puzzles 🧩 or team colouring 🎨? Let us know in the comments!

Maybe you take the longer route to avoid the highway. You wait until traffic is lighter. Or you let someone else drive because certain trips make you anxious.

Driving anxiety can quietly start shaping where you go and how you get there.

Occupational therapy can help you understand what may be keeping that anxiety going and gradually work toward the driving or passenger situations that matter in your everyday life.

🚗 Learn more about driving anxiety, avoidance, and how occupational therapy may help. 👇

Bloating or constipation this Thanksgiving? 🦃 Gentle abdominal massage may help you feel more comfortable.

Our manual osteopath Katie Stanley demonstrates the ILU massage, also called the “I Love You” massage. Its strokes follow the path of your large intestine and may help gas and stool move along.

This self-massage technique may ease constipation and related bloating or gas discomfort. 👀 Watch the demonstration and save it to revisit later.

Wait a few hours after a large meal. Use gentle pressure and stop if it hurts. ⚠️ Check with a clinician first if you’re pregnant, have had recent abdominal surgery, or have a bowel condition or abdominal hernia. This video is for general education only. Seek medical advice for ongoing symptoms.

☀️🚨 Heatstroke vs heat exhaustion: know the difference!

Summer fun can quickly become dangerous if you're unaware of the risks of heat-related illnesses. Heat exhaustion can lead to heatstroke, a serious and life-threatening condition. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include weakness, heavy sweating, and nausea, while heatstroke is marked by a high body temperature, rapid pulse, and possible unconsciousness.

Here are some ways to stay safe in the sun:

💧 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
👕 Wear light-coloured, loose clothing
🕶️ Use broad-spectrum sunscreen and reapply every 90 minutes
⏰ Avoid strenuous activities during peak sun hours
🌳 Seek shade or stay in air-conditioned areas when possible

Enjoy the summer safely! ☀️🌿 If you need help dealing with a summer injury, schedule an appointment with a Lifemark clinician: https://bit.ly/3ygantO

On this National Injury Prevention Day, we're committed to raising awareness about the importance of injury prevention. 🚑🔍

Injuries can happen to anyone, anytime, and anywhere, but many are preventable with the right knowledge and precautions. Our dedicated team of clinicians and staff work tirelessly to provide education, support, and treatment to help our community stay safe and healthy.

Quick stats:

🔹 Every day, 634 Canadians are hospitalized because of injuries

🔹 75% of injury-related deaths are from unintentional causes, such as falls and car accidents

🔹 Falls are the leading cause of injury deaths, hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and disabilities in Canada.

Join us in spreading the message of injury prevention by sharing safety tips, being mindful of hazards in your daily activities, and encouraging others to stay informed. Together, we can make a difference and reduce the number of preventable injuries. 💪✨

Stay safe and proactive this National Injury Prevention Day!
