Practicing stretching is an effective stress reliever, it's also a way to ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. By transferring focus and attention to the body and breath while also releasing physical tension. Give the stretches below a go #stretchmorestresslesscampaign

Although many OT’s @cygnethealth work in the mental health sector, it’s important to refresh our knowledge and skills relating to the physical needs of patients. It will enable OT’s to confidently assess and provide equipment solutions for our patients #equipmentassessortraining

This is lockdown! So much has changed. We’ve had to make the most with what we’ve got but I’ve been shocked with how beautiful Gloucestershire is. I have pretty much lived in active wear, I haven’t worn fancy make up or styled my hair in over three months and I absolutely love it

[#Hellomynameis: Emily_OT @Emily_AHP]

If there’s anything this lockdown has taught me, it’s that Gloucestershire is such a stunning county #perfectforme #homesweethome #dogsofinstagram #dogwomanlife @ Gloucestershire https://t.co/aiCAjqTqTg

We live in such a beautiful world. Taking the time out to really appreciate it has given me much needed fuel for the week #Mindfulness #beautifulworld #ForestofDean #Forest #OccupationalTherapy

@CherylwilsonOT It was my second time around at uni...this time I chose to go with a topic I’m passionate about and it worked for the better. I focused on the homeless and mental health. Good luck. If you need any advice, please feel free to contact me! Good luck x

Now more than ever practice mindfulness daily @cygnethealth Thoughts & feelings are transient & surface level. Your inalterable consciousness is underneath and cannot be harmed by the storms of situations.

@ot_zoebell @OT_Jade @kerri_schOT @OTRuthGarner Thank you! That sounds great. I was thinking of popping a little journal in there or a scrap book to enable the patients to practice self-reflection during this time 😊

@ot_zoebell @OT_Jade @kerri_schOT @OTRuthGarner Hi 👋 I’m a new OT working in an inpatient unit; if anyone has any tips or ideas for activities etc, I would love to hear them if possible please? Also I would love to put some packs together for the patients. What have you been including in the packs? Thanks in advance 😊

I think we should have a round of applause and give huge thanks to all the staff in all the supermarkets at the moment. Regularly faced with abuse and criticism from customers. For them it’s been like Christmas week every day but with less stock @LidlGB @Tesco @asda @AldiUK
