BLASTPt

Hello all!
I would like to recognize an outstanding local organization who partners with the community to serve even more people!
I work at Highline Post Acute and we have many patients who would love to walk more, but because of staff and patient safety and resources, we can't accommodate everyone. But now we can, thanks to Holly at Community Aquatics n' Occupational Engagement - CANOE. A family wanted to donate the walker to a facility where it would be used frequently. And we are so thankful!!

Holly Ross, owner of CANOE, is an occupational therapist that absolutely loves to connect clients, families, and businesses to resources in the environment. One thing she is passionate about is using her full scope of practice to find hidden resources, community events, and passing on donations. "Families really aren't told about resources and when caregiving full time for someone with a disability, there's no time to search the internet for hours looking for something you need. Also, if a family can't use something then I help find reputable businesses that can. It's really about empowering occupational performance as a whole for the community, and who better to fulfill that role than an OT." CANOE provides outpatient OT services, aquatic therapy, home modification evaluations, and free community events with a specific focus on the ages 2mo-26years of age. All disabilities welcome! www.canoecommunity.org

It's a beautiful morning at Havern for their resource fair. Come down from 10-1pm.

I am officially worn out :) had a great day at the Neurodiversity fair! Lots of kids kept me pretty busy. We had a basket where kids could draw a piece of paper with an exercise and any 90% choose the inertia bands. We also did every exercise as well. Met so many wonderful kids, parents, and vendors/ providers. We had inertia bands, slam ball, hurdles, agility ladder and lots of fun! Thank you Guiding Bright Minds and Accelerated Schools for the wonderful event! We look forward to the next one!

Blastpt is at the Neurodiversity fair! We have our booth set up. Come check out the various resources!

Thank you Parkinson Association of the Rockies for having Blastpt at your Vitality 5k! Your volunteers were wonderful and the teams and participants that came together to support their family and friends was inspiring and I'm so happy to have experienced it. Let's add a kayak event next year if we get the rain we received today :).

Thank you to Arc Thrift Stores for allowing me teach the Arc University class. I had a wonderful time getting to meet the Ambassadors. We had around 100 participants making this my largest class.

Today Everitt Middle School is having their health fair. Expecting 25 kids. 4 groups of exercises. And I'll have 1 teacher. Going to be so fun!

Yay pretty excited to have a banner. :) I have some new updates for Blastpt. I will be leading a warm up for the Vitality 5k hosted by Parkinsons Association of the Rockies. Iwill also be having fun putting on two exercise classes for a local school. Obstace course and relays. I'm really looking forward to it! I also have a new client starting at the Sensory Club which I'm stoked about! I will be hosting a workout with the employees of a local non profit. Things are getting busy! And it's really exciting! Blastpt provides affordable personal training to people with disabilities, as well as seniors.

Hey all! One thing that I enjoy doing is researching populations that I work with and what I can do differently with each person. I spent some time doing some research. Physical activity and exercise games has been proven to reduce behavioral tendencies for people with ASD, improve joint attention, and improve motor skills. Here are some research articles I found this evening. Each week I would like to share some facts as it relates to people with disabilities. What would you be interested in learning Comment below :) Everett Middle School will be having an event next month and Blastpt will be there with some workout equipment!

Hey, check out Roll Mobility!
It’s a community helping each other to explore the world on wheels.

Roll Mobility App

Hello! I've started a new challenge! The challenge is having a person without a disability perform an every day activity that someone with a disability has to do. For example, being in the car, taking apart a wheel chair and then putting the chair in the car. (Mind you it needs to be done the same way). Use on Facebook or instagram and share the video. This is all about bringing awareness, understanding, and inclusiveness. Have fun!

Edit** I started a personal training non profit called BlastPT. To help the mission of what I'm trying to do, i had this idea. It's mission is to help people with disabilities get stronger, more mobile, more independent, and feel supported by the community. I'm sorry I forgot to include that. More info is available at blastpt.org.

Hey all!! Tonight was such a wonderful experience at the The Sensory Club Denver! I am filled with gratitude and excitement as Blastpt and the Sensory Club will be working together to get more people stronger, moving better, and having fun! Thank you Christeen for your patience, skills as a videographer, and creative mind for helping make all of this possible. But the most moving experience was seeing the happiest kids playing on all of sensory equipment! Loved seeing the interactions this evening. If you have not had a chance to visit the Sensory Club. Please do! Thank you Christeen for all your time!
