When your client’s ritual hand washing becomes a therapeutic activity. ⁣
⁣........⁣
⁣
In Jewish tradition, hand washing is a common ritual activity; before prayer, after sleeping, before eating bread among others. This patient was first seen with no active range of motion in his left upper extremity and hand. While he’s had his hands washed multiple times a day, he himself has not don’t this task since September of last year. ⁣
⁣
Today he attempted to do so independently for the first time since his hospitalization. As Occupational Therapists one the most important parts of our work is to not only get our clients to the point of independence with daily activities but to use those tasks as a means to their ends. ⁣
⁣
Getting to watch that spark catch when a person realizes they can do something they haven’t done in some time is a remarkable thing. ⁣

“Tefilin pronunciation: [tfiˈlin]) or phylacteries, is a set of small black leather boxes containing scrolls of parchment inscribed with verses from the Torah. Tefillin are worn by adult Jews during weekday morning prayers” (Wikipedia, 2021).

This patient has not attempted to put on or take off his tefilin since early September due to left hemiplegia after a long hospitalization due to internal bleeding. So after two weeks of stretching and exercises, he was ready to attempt to participate in a task he has done every morning since he was 13 years old, a task that has required someone else to do for him since September.

Remember this friends, change and growth are possible if you will it and if you trust yourself enough to try.
