Hand To Shoulder Therapy is celebrating Occupational Therapy month by offering an ergonomic gardening demonstration on Saturday April 25th at 1:30 PM. Susie Nichols has lived with arthritis since it began for her at age 16. “I can’t change that I have arthritis, but I can change how much it limits me.”
Occupational therapy practitioners have a holistic perspective, in which the focus includes adapting the environment to fit the person. “Changing the tools used to garden allows me to do more with less pain and disability.”
The demonstration will be held at Hand To Shoulder Therapy at 880 Guard Street next door to Harbor Rentals. Participants will be able to try out the tools discussed.
There is no cost for attending.
