SALUD Y BIENESTAR | Miércoles 20-05 | Bloque 2: Terapia Ocupacional y ejercicios para Dolor de Codo

We continue in this second segment of Health and Wellness with Brenda Uñate to delve deeper into the valuable and indispensable role of Occupational Therapy in our society. Joining us in the studio is Lic. Eugenia Jiménez, a graduate and professor at the Catholic University of Cuyo (UCCuyo), who helps us demystify this socio-health profession. We explore what the concept of "occupation" encompasses (from hygiene and clothing to the use of technology and transportation), how new areas of health management influence it, and the current state of the profession in San Juan. Ms. Jiménez details the approach to childhood neurodevelopment (such as autism), post-stroke physical rehabilitation, school inclusion, and preventative support for older adults facing cognitive decline and fall prevention. She also emphasizes the critical value of interdisciplinary work in healthcare. In the second part of this segment, we move on to our Fitness Flash micro-segment with kinesiologist Melisa Herrera, who analyzes the causes of elbow pain (strongly associated with the padel tennis boom, tennis elbow, or golfer's elbow) and teaches us a practical routine with wall stretches and resistance band exercises to decompress the tendons and prevent cramps or numbness at home. We conclude with a key recommendation for your oral health from the dental diagnostic specialists at DOY.
