OT Local

OT Local Independent occupational therapist and tai chi practitioner.

Alison has been an occupational therapist for many years, mainly supporting older adults to continue living at home safely and independently. More recently she also qualified as a tai chi instructor which is well evidenced that it improves balance and reduces falls which sadly become more common in people of advanced years.

Despite having a January birthday, this month has been looooong! I'm looking forward to February and spring around the corner 🎍
And I'm really looking forward to the forecast tomorrow morning (Thursday) for tai chi at Henley Station at 9.30. Hopefully sunshine on our skin and the birds singing along with us as we enjoy the fresh air, and coffee The.brookie.bean afterwards. Come and join us?

UPDATE: I'm coming to Henley to chance it! Let's hope the rain holds off!

Hmmmm it's looking rainy in the morning 🤔 keep an eye out for a message from me whether tai chi goes ahead at 9.30 at the station. I'll make a decision by 8.45 and if it's still looking a bit iffy I'll come down for coffee anyway. We managed a session last week when the skies were grey!

Tai chi this morning at Henley train station...if it doesn't rain! I'll be there anyway for coffee ☕

With this icy weather comes an increased risk of falls. Remember to be more penguin! Keep the weight of your body slightly further forward, step flat footed on and off kerbs, and keep your hands out of your pockets. It's not rocket science but I hope it helps you to stay safe! 🐧

I guess Christmas is over, right? But hang on, we still have some of the most delicious salted caramel Yule log from The.brookie.bean ❤️❤️❤️ we loved it on Christmas day and I am now so used to being fed Yule log nuggets that I'm unsure how to go back to reality 🤣

Tai chi this morning: I'll be at the station for 9.30 and hopefully we can fit a session in before the rain! Otherwise I'll see you at 11am at St Nicholas church.
