💗💙 HEAVY WORK = Small Activities with BIG Benefits! 💙💗
Did you know that everyday activities like pushing, pulling, carrying, lifting, climbing, jumping, squeezing, and even chewing can give the body valuable sensory input?
These types of activities are often called “heavy work.” They provide resistance through the muscles and joints and can help support body awareness, attention, coordination, and nervous-system regulation. And what you see on the surface is only the tip of the iceberg! 🧊
Heavy work can also support important foundational skills like proprioception, vestibular processing, interoception, motor planning, core and shoulder stability, coordination, and hand/wrist strength.
The best part? Heavy work doesn’t have to look like “therapy.” It can be incorporated into play, chores, sports, school, and everyday activities. Small activities can build a stronger foundation for everyday life. 🧠💪
At Schott Physical Therapy, we believe in strengthening the whole person—stronger bodies and brighter brains! 💗💙
