Activities as Recreation-Based 
​Integrative Medical Treatment

What is Recreation-Based Medical Treatment?

Recreation-Based Integrative Medical Treatment is delivered by Recreational Therapists (as qualified providers) when they use leisure activity techniques as interventions to help patients of all ages with their Emotional, Physical and Social Health. 

Why Are Activities Used As Recreation-Based Medicine?

When are you the happiest? 

Is it when you are fishing? Or, when you are winning the video game Fortnite? Is it when you are in your garden, playing card games, cooking or telling a joke? Maybe it is when you are listening to your favorite music, taking a walk outside or volunteering to help others? Or, just doing nothing at all and relaxing? Constructive activities that you enjoy (and are meaningful to you), those are your leisure interests. They are a fundamental aspect of what makes you, uniquely you. They give your life meaning. They impact your overall health and quality of life.


What RT Helps:

When an accident, illness, disease, disability or disorder impacts your ability to do the fun activities that are the most meaningful in your life; Recreational Therapy (RT), is the specialized therapy to help you! Whether you are rehabilitating to “get back” to yourself, living well with a chronic condition or disorder, or simply want preventive care to be your healthiest self; RT is the allied health specialty that treats Emotional, Physical and Social Health by using activities as state-of-the-art Recreation-Based Medical Treatment.


How RT Helps:

If you enjoy gardening, RT treats your Physical Health by using gardening in your therapy session as Recreation-Based Medical Treatment to help you regain muscle strength, improve balance, and increase motor functioning. 

If you enjoy playing video games, RT treats your Emotional and Social Health by using playing video games in your therapy session as Recreation-Based Integrative Medical Treatment to help you develop social skills, decrease anxiety, or reduce stress. 

Recreational Therapists use a variety of scientific evidence-based activities and therapeutic methods (including ACT, CBT, DBT for Emotional Health and Social Health). 

What Activities are Used as Recreation-Based Medical Treatment?

Activities you enjoy are used as recreation-based integrative medicine in Recreational Therapy (RT) sessions.
