Recreational Activities

For all neurological and orthopedic survivors, recreational therapy can be a critical component to your rehabilitation program, especially if you’re struggling with feelings of hopelessness, depression, and disinterest in your old hobbies. Recreational therapy helps boost your morale and sense of freedom while also counteracting negative feelings that often occur after illness.
