I finally squeezed a workout in yesterday which has made me more tired than usual today. Since I'm on my feet all day I usually justify not having to work out since I seem to be getting plenty of steps. I find that my feet and back are constantly hurting, though, and I'm not sure what to do! I bought some comfy-ish shoes, and I take Tylenol sometimes... What do you do to help mitigate the pain and to also stay in shape?

If your feet and back are hurting, it could be that you just need to tone up a little. Try taking a walk every day for a month and see if that makes a difference. It's possible just some light exercise like that can get you moving enough to provide a little muscle tone and you'll feel better. Your legs may ache if you start walking regularly, but just power through that. I had gotten too sedentary a few years ago and starting a walking program really helped me a lot.

That's a good idea... not sure why I didn't think of that! I do walk around the school a lot, but I don't take a dedicated walk around the neighborhood like I should.

Yoga! It strengthens muscles and increases flexibility. It worked for me!

Focusing on my core and stretching were big for me. Everyone is different and I definitely recommended trying some different things out. I exactly used to think that too! I’m on my feet all day. That should be more than enough activity!? But focusing on some other areas fitness wise helped.

Tai Chi works wonders!
It's very calming and focus driven. I love that it is a soft marshal art, and you can learn a little self-defense from it. It's wonderful to improve balance as well.

It’s so tough when we're on your feet all day! I’d suggest mixing in some stretching or low-impact exercises, like yoga or swimming, to strengthen your back and feet without adding more strain. Maybe try a foot roller or insoles for extra support too. Taking breaks and stretching regularly can help a lot too!!

I love my job in special education, the job may bring quite a bit of stress and exhaustion but nothing compares to the stress of the related service team. OT, PT, speech, BCBA, social worker, etc etc is really what’s killing me this year. It is 23 days into the school year and the team members all make different plans and as a result, nothing is being accomplished. And if paraprofessionals follow ie what OT says but not PT, it cause so much unnecessary conflict!
