I have worked in the health and fitness industry for over twenty years.After spending eight years (2014-2022) helping self-employed trainers nationwide build successful and sustainable Personal Training businesses in their local area, I took an exciting leap forwards into the world of holistic wellness and enrolled on an occupational therapy degree. With a bunch of skills learnt, growing and developing, I created Your Place Health & Fitness. Your Place's mission is to help everyone make sense of, and make a success of their own health and fitness journey by focusing on Person (you), Environment (your surroundings), and Occupation (your tasks and habits), to create the perfect wellness formula that delivers amazing results that last a lifetime! Over the last twenty years I have helped hundreds of clients achieve goals that may never have been reached if there wasn't support outside of the gym environment. It is for this reason that I remain a strong advocate of the power of training clients in the comfort of their own homes. Health and fitness is much more than a few press-ups and squats, it's about having a grasp on all areas of our lives - and there's no better base than your place!If you would like to collaborate in any other way, please reach out, I would love to chat.AdamYour Health. Your Fitness. Your Space. Your Place. Show less

I participated in school observations to identify and address developmental and functional challenges. I also conducted home visits for children with physical challenges to assess their needs and provide support to families. Additionally, I led an assessment for a child to assist in diagnosing developmental coordination disorder (DCD). I contributed to the OT team by presenting on chronic pain, and the Kawa model for family engagement. Furthermore, I developed a program for a school to address upper limb skills, such as bilateral coordination, fine motor skills, and proprioception, in a child with cerebral palsy. In collaboration with a speech-language therapist (SALT), I utilised eye gaze technology to facilitate communication with a nonverbal child during therapy sessions. Show less

I participated in upper limb group therapy sessions, helping patients improve their fine and gross motor skills and dexterity. I also accompanied patients on shopping trips to assess their daily living skills and provide guidance on adaptive strategies. I worked with patients with both tetraplegia and paraplegia, tailoring my interventions to their specific needs. Additionally, I conducted kitchen assessments to evaluate patients' ability to perform self-care tasks and recommended assistive devices as needed. I assisted patients with transfers, including from bed to chair and chair to car, and provided guidance on self-dressing techniques. Furthermore, I conducted home visits to assess patients' readiness to return home and identify any necessary modifications or support services. Finally, I had the opportunity to participate in a therapy pool session with a patient, utilising hydrotherapy to improve range of motion and reduce pain. Show less
