Great video! 🌟 With optimized SEO and a polished channel setup, your content has the potential to reach new heights. Let me know if you'd like any help!
Best explanation madam
Thank you so much!
The background music is very distracting especially to a person with ADHD 😅
5 Minute timer
Thank you for this!! I am a newer OT :)
You are so welcome!
Thank for the video. My daughter did PT and even wore AFO at night but nothing helped. She is 16 now. What can be done as doctors heren in India have mixed opinions. Few have suggested aechilles tendon lengthening surgery and few have suggested botox. We are not convinced to get either. Please help as now ahe complains of back and calf pain and toe numbness
Can low muscle tonus cause pain in back & muscles, which MRI scann doesnt show a reason for pain/tension issues? I also have 17 degrees scoliosis &low muscle tonus from birth. I have 5-9 light compressed spine bones which were previously fracutured. Still healthcare specialist doesn't know where pain comes from
Good workout, thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thanks so much- this was such a helpful and insightful video.
You are so welcome. Thank you for watching!
I am new to formal /special Ed./ I love the way you incorporated everyday stuff to productive TASK Boxes! Moving away from expensive stuff. Thanks
You are so welcome! I love to reuse things. It's amazing what we can do with stuff we already have. Thank you for watching.
I wonder why this is never talked about in the fitness world. I mean boomers talk about getting "toned" but what they really mean is shedding body fat and increasing muscle hypertrophy in order to bring out more definition, not this.
You are correct. The concept of muscle tone is widely misunderstood. In PT and OT school we learn a lot about it as we often work with individuals with neurologic injuries. In these instances muscle tone is an important consideration for recovery.
Interesting, this includes a lot of occupational therapy. I've heard that OT has overlap with PT but this is my first time seeing the reverse. 👍🏽
I really like to incorporate fine motor activities into my strengthening and gross motor tasks. These activities often add to the difficulty level improving a patient's stability. Plus, they usually make things more fun!
Love this thank you! I will use with my ALN pupils in my new class.
I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Did I just watch a dog video, replaced with teenagers?😂 JK.. Children are getting lazier these days due to electronics and what not? I think this is a great idea. Thank you for sharing.
Oh this is awesome..as this is three years ago please tell me you have made activity cards for kids.. I need..
Working on them!
Thanks i learned alot most esp. in creating activities for my autism tutor..
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Love these ideas.
It is an excellent resource for kids. Thank you very much. Could you publish more videos like this? My son, who is autistic, loves this video.
Got adhd and so dose my child. I'm looking for some videos that might help. need to play this 1.5x Speed and still loose focus on. This is so structured and boring 😴
Ummm.. Neurodivergent individuals actually thrive in structure. You're conflating that with being rigid, which is ironic in itself. No one is forcing you here, which would be rigidity...
Thank you so much for this. I see now that I've been lifting wrong this whole time. I have a bad back and i made the mistake of lifting some things incorrectly so now my back is hurting a lot.
Excellent presentation. Thank you for the clear, easy to follow instructions. It's hard to come up with new ideas without spending a fortune!
Thank you for this video :) Working out intimidates me, especially because I've been out of shape for most of my life. This was fun and felt achievable for where I'm at right now. It's such a small thing to do, but I know doing it daily will help me take those steps towards a healthier life.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Great Job!
Thank you! My son was needing something to get him fit, but something doable for him. We had a great workout today!!
Great!
I brush my teeth with it
Great Idea!
I like to explain EF skills using the acronym POSITIVE: Planning, Organization, Self-awareness, Inhibition, Time Management, Initiation, Visualizing outcomes, and Evaluating priorities.
My son was the moat stiff infant ive every seen. He couldn't playvw his feet. He walked at 8 mths old but very high on his toes. The dr dismissed all of this. It wasn't until he was 3 and we went to a neurologist who put in physical therapy, eventually had boots to sleep in. However, the surgeon decided he was way to tight and we went forward w surgery whenhe was 4. Hes now 8 and im starting to see him going up on his toes a bit again. When you ask him to touch his toes he can barely reach his knees. Also needs to build core strength. We've been doing some yoga but do don't like it because hes very active and mostly because it hurts. Im quite worried. I will definitely be working with him on all the activities. I worry these were activities i should have been doing with him as a toddler. I worked with him but if i would have listened to my own instincts maybe i could have stretched him out as a baby and possibly saved him from needing surgery. I just want to make sure im doing everything i can do fir him now. Thank you for the great information!!
I’m 34 I’ve been walking on my toes since I was very young people say it’s not the correct way of walking but I can’t help it for me it’s a sensory issue.
How did you word the whiteboard accommodation for him?
Nice video! In the high muscle tone condition why do you have to go back to the ideal resting tension first before going back up to the desired tension necessary to say kick a ball?
The only way that makes sense to me in this scenario is that to kick the ball you have to rear your leg back before moving it forward to kick. The prime mover muscles have to relax to become hyper extended(the limb moving in the opposite direction). if the hip flexors and quads that produce the kicking motion are have too much muscle tone, too "tight" then theyd have to relax before you could move your leg backwards. However the high muscle tone would still increase the speed in which you kick the ball forward, it's just the backward movement that slows you down. All muscles are in a delicate balance of tension and have antagonist muscles that work against them. Tight triceps will make contracting the bicep use more energy. That's what makes stretching a complicated thing. If you stretch a muscle too much you release the tension from it which will reduce contraction speed and power, but if the antagonist muscle is too tight and not stretched enough then it will also reduce contraction speed and power. It's also easier to tear a muscle that's too tight, but tight muscles produce a lot of force in the direction that they contract. Shit gets complicated.
That can effect your posture too. If you see someone with their pelvis tilting forward and their lower back abnormally rounded they probably have tight hip flexors and high muscle tone in the hip flexors but loose low tone gluten, and when one or 2 muscles get out of balance and shift your posture then other muscles have to compensate to maintain your body in an upright position so then other muscles will become too tight and others too loose. It could throw off the entire body if one or 2 muscles are off because the musculoskeletal system is one big chain. Then the posture effects the nervous system, we don't know exactly how but if you slouch your serotonin drops, some studies suggest testosterone drops and you feel less confident. Standing upright with your chest out actually boosts confidence and serotonin. We can even observe this in lobsters. Lobsters with higher social status stand more upright and lobsters with lower status slouch, if they fight and one loses then his serotonin drops and he slouches. Then giving Lobsters serotonin boosters or SSRIs makes them stand up straight and become more aggressive and confident again. So your muscles are important for much more than just looking good on the beach lol. Fitness and muscular tension balance effect everything in the body one way or another.
Thank you for your recommendations about medications. Most people are very negative . I can see the change with my son with different medication.
I am so glad you found it helpful. We all have to do what we think is best for our children. I am so glad you are seeing improvements.
How can I connect both?
Love this , specially it’s for different abilities ❣️
This is great. I was wondering how you colored the 3 cardboard sections as they look shiny.
I added clear packing tape over it to protect it from water.
Expescy for you
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ Do you have any suggestions for calf strengthening exercises for clubfoot babies who are walking with support.
Super helpful tips. Thank you!
We do this at school alot
Thank you
Thankyou!
Thank you for this. I prefer yours mostly because there is nothing but music and where there is like no talking. But mostly because I have been going to a program. And we are trying to find exercises that we can do at home.
I’m so glad you enjoy them.
Who is paying for occupational therapy? Our insurance covers nothing. They only pay for autistic people
Hi!! Love this..
Hi Dina! Hope you are doing well!
Awesome video. Very helpful.
Loved the workout and fun music!
