This exercise is such a great way to practice lying to sitting transitions whilst also working on core strength, arms strength and postural awareness! ✨🧚🏼‍♀️

“OTs do upper limb and physios do lower limb.” 🙄

One of the biggest misconceptions I noticed when I first started my uni placements was the idea that OT = hands/upper limb and physio = legs/lower limb.

The reality? There’s a LOT of overlap between OT and physio when it comes to hand strength, dexterity and upper limb skills.

As paediatric physios, we can absolutely work on hand strength and dexterity when it’s important for a child’s movement and participation goals.

Think:

- Grip strength for monkey bars and climbing
- Hand strength for bike riding
- Grip and upper limb strength for skipping and playground skills
- Hand dexterity and coordination for catching and throwing

Our end goals might be different, but the underlying skill can be just as important.

And this is where collaboration is so valuable. 🩵

OTs may focus on how fine motor skills translate into everyday activities like feeding, dressing, grooming, handwriting, typing and accessing technology/AAC, while also considering sensory, visual-motor and proprioceptive factors. 👗🪥✍🏼

Physios may target those same hand and upper limb skills when they are a key component of a child’s gross motor movement, strength, coordination and participation. 🛝🏀🐒

It’s not about whose “job” the hands are. It’s about what skill we’re building, why we’re building it, and how it helps the child reach their goals.

A big thank you to my OT bestie @otwithtayla for helping me put this one together. 🕺🏻✨🧚🏼‍♀️
