Recreational Therapy

What is Recreational Therapy?

Recreational therapy is a form of rehabilitation that uses enjoyable, meaningful activities to improve physical, cognitive, emotional, and social well-being. Guided by certified recreational therapists, programs may include sports, arts and crafts, music, games, outdoor activities, or community outings. These activities are carefully designed to support recovery, build confidence, reduce stress, and enhance overall quality of life.

Recreational therapy helps individuals develop skills for daily living, strengthen social connections, and find healthy, motivating ways to stay active and engaged. Whether recovering from illness or injury, living with a disability, or working toward greater independence, recreational therapy provides opportunities for growth, healing, and fulfillment.CTRS and person served participating in a holiday activity.
