Introduction and overview of recreational therapy
Keywords:
recreation therapy, physical health, higher feeling, self-worth, accomplishmentAbstract
Recreational therapy programmes have grown in popularity with adolescents who have psychological, physical, sociological, and emotional difficulties. The literature, on the other hand, has largely concentrated on the advantages of recreation programmes, rather than on the impact of recreation therapy interventions on this vulnerable group. The purpose of this review was to conduct an examination of the literature about the impact of recreation therapy programmes. The purpose of this study was to review about the efficacy and execution of recreational therapy programmes for improving mobility outcome (e.g., balance, functional performance, fall incidence).Recreation therapy has a number of advantages. It has the potential to increase physical functionality, strengthen neuronal connections related with processing activities, and open doors to inclusion. Spending time engaging in recreational activities that interest you reduces the likelihood of depression, loneliness, and frustration. Indeed, Recreation Therapy can help individuals develop a higher feeling of self-worth and accomplishment.
