Splinting isn’t just about creating supports — it’s about restoring function, independence, and dignity through skilled, purposeful design.

In this mentoring session, I had the privilege of working with two passionate OTs who were eager to refine their clinical reasoning and hands-on skills in splint fabrication and practical application. Together, we explored not just how to make a splint, but why each choice matters — from material selection and joint positioning to patient-centered adaptations.

✨ A heartfelt thank you to you both for your openness to learn and dedication to improving your craft. Your enthusiasm reminds me of why mentorship matters — because confident, well-guided OTs create meaningful impact in every setting they serve.

🌿 I’m now offering mentoring sessions for OTs who wish to enhance their practice in:
🖐️ Hand Therapy Foundations
🦾 Splinting
🧠 Adult Neuro and Physical Dysfunction
🏠 Home Health

Let’s continue shaping capable, confident therapists who bring evidence-based, compassionate care to their clients.

🛒 Therapy in action—grocery style!

Today, we brought therapy out into the real world with our stroke client:
✔️ Made a grocery list
✔️ Navigated the aisles
✔️ Chose preferred brands (kay importante gyud ang paborito)
✔️ Managed payment at the counter

In Cebuano culture, pag-grocery isn’t just a chore—it’s a way of caring for the family, making sure there’s food on the table, and having the freedom to choose what you want. For our client, this is more than practice—it’s independence regained. 💙

Because rehab isn’t only about exercises—it’s about living life again.

🧠💪 Why Use a Rigid Neck Collar?
A rigid neck collar isn’t just for support—it’s a key part of healing and protection. Here are 5 important benefits of using one:

1️⃣ Stabilizes the Neck – Keeps your head and spine aligned during healing.
2️⃣ Prevents Further Injury – Protects the neck after trauma, surgery, or fractures.
3️⃣ Reduces Pain – Limits movement that may cause discomfort.
4️⃣ Supports Posture – Helps retrain proper head and neck positioning.
5️⃣ Promotes Healing – Allows injured tissues, muscles, or bones to rest and recover properly.

📌 Always wear one as prescribed by your doctor or therapist.
✅ Used in cases like whiplash, cervical fractures, or post-op recovery.

✨ Safe healing starts with proper support!

Pila ni, Ma’am? 🧠👐

We used play money in today’s OT session to help our stroke client regain:
✔️ Motor control
✔️ Mental focus
✔️ Everyday skills like handling cash and buying essentials

In Cebuano households, knowing how to manage money—even small bills—is a symbol of independence and dignity. That’s why we make therapy functional, familiar, and focused on real life.

Therapy doesn’t stop at exercises. It prepares you to live again.

Mahjong for therapy? Yes, pwede kaayo! 🧠👐

We used mahjong tiles during this OT session to help a stroke survivor work on hand control, focus, and memory—and she enjoyed every minute of it! 😄

Familiar games can become powerful therapy tools.
Rehab doesn’t have to feel like rehab. 💪🏽

🧠💪 5 Benefits of Using a Bobath or Shoulder Sling for Stroke Patients 💪🧠

After a stroke, many patients experience weakness or paralysis in one arm, leading to shoulder subluxation or pain. The Bobath or shoulder sling is a simple but powerful tool in stroke recovery. Here’s how it helps:

✅ 1. Supports the Weak Arm
Helps reduce the risk of shoulder dislocation and protects the joint from excessive strain.

✅ 2. Prevents Shoulder Subluxation
Keeps the shoulder in proper alignment and reduces the chance of “drooping” caused by poor muscle tone.

✅ 3. Reduces Shoulder Pain
Stabilizing the arm can significantly ease discomfort during daily activities.

✅ 4. Promotes Functional Positioning
Keeps the affected arm in a natural, functional position, especially during transfers and walking.

✅ 5. Improves Safety During Mobility
Assists caregivers and therapists by keeping the arm secure and protected during movement or gait training.

🧑‍⚕️ As Occupational Therapists, we use slings not just for protection, but to promote safe movement, function, and confidence in our patients’ recovery journey.
