With May as National #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth, it’s the perfect time to maintain your mental health with self-care. It means taking the time to do things that help you live well and improve both your physical and mental health. Self-care can help you manage stress, lower your risk of illness, and increase your energy. Even small acts of self-care in your daily life can have a big impact. Are you practicing self-care? The National Institute of Mental Health offers some tips.... Get regular exercise. Just 30 minutes of walking every day can help boost your mood and improve your health. Small amounts of exercise add up, so don’t be discouraged if you can’t do 30 minutes at one time. Eat healthy, regular meals and stay hydrated. A balanced diet and plenty of water can improve your energy and focus throughout the day. Also, limit caffeinated beverages such as soft drinks or coffee. Make sleep a priority. Stick to a schedule, and make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Blue light from devices and screens can make it harder to fall asleep, so reduce blue light exposure from your phone or computer before bedtime. Try a relaxing activity. Explore relaxation or wellness programs or apps, which may incorporate meditation, muscle relaxation, or breathing exercises. Schedule regular times for these and other healthy activities you enjoy such as journaling. Set goals and priorities. Decide what must get done now and what can wait. Learn to say no to new tasks if you start to feel like you’re taking on too much. Try to be mindful of what you have accomplished at the end of the day, not what you have been unable to do. Practice gratitude. Remind yourself daily of things you are grateful for. Be specific. Write them down at night or replay them in your mind. Focus on positivity. Identify and challenge your negative and unhelpful thoughts. Stay connected. Reach out to your friends or family members who can provide emotional support and practical help. For other ideas for healthy practices for your mind, body, surroundings, and relationships, see the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Wellness Toolkits. #meditation #positivity #gratitude #goals #prosthetics #orthotics #ampcommunity #amputeelife

This dad appeals to social media for his ballerina daughter looking for resources for a prosthesis or attachment to allow her that would allow dance en pointe. Lot's of creativity out there. If you have questions for yourself or a family member or are looking for prosthetic solutions, just ask your practitioner at Orthologix! #bkamputee #amputees #amputee #prosthetics #ampstrong #amputeeballerina #orthologixcares https://sports.yahoo.com/father-turns-social-media-prosthet

We are here for you if you have questions. Care and maintenance of your prosthesis is important. Liners should be washed daily with soap and warm water. Turn the liner inside out, apply soap and wash. Thoroughly rinse off all soap residue. Dry the liner and turn it right side out. The liner can be occasionally disinfected with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Do not do this on a regular basis as it can compromise the materials. You should alternate wear of your two l...iners daily and the liner should be completely dry when donned. If you have questions, please contact your prosthetist at Orthologix. . . #prostheticliners #amputees #amputeestrong #amputeehealth #amputeeresources #prosthetics #orthologixcares #bewell #HealthyLiving #bewell #amputeelife #prosthetips

It is a bit too late for Holiday 2020, but we found a site that has collected the top 25 dolls now being offered for children with a disability. It is quite interesting as 20 years ago there was not quite this variety! #diversityandinclusion is catching up in the toy world! Enjoy and start planning for birthdays and next year! https://adayinourshoes.com/dolls-with-disabilities/

Technology Update - The #Cheneau brace is a three-dimensional correctional brace that has significant pressure and expansion areas built into the brace, which provides correction in all three anatomical planes. The Cheneau brace takes 15 different curvature patterns into consideration, which de-rotates the body much better through the longitudinal axis, rather than other braces. The main benefit of the Cheneau brace is the unique and highly effective biomechanical design tail...ored specifically to the patient. Successful treatment with the brace is based on targeted and consistent implementation. The biomechanical design of the brace implements physiotherapeutic exercises and uses curvature-specific modules based on the #SchrothMethod. Call 800-659-9755, for more information on the Cheneau brace and how it could help you. #orthotics #braces #spinalbrace #orthologixcares
