Recreational Therapy

Dealing with an injury, illness or disabling condition can be physically daunting and make you feel isolated from the rest of the world. Recreational therapists in the Sutter Health network use art, music, sports and leisure activities to help you engage with the community again.

Play for Better Health

It can be challenging to maintain your physical and emotional well-being when managing a serious illness, injury or condition. Recreational specialists across the Sutter Health network use art projects, music therapy, pet therapy, goal-oriented games, sports, dance, cooking and group outings to build your confidence and improve your overall quality of life. Your specialist also works with you to prevent secondary health conditions and enhance independent living skills.

Certified recreational therapists provide customized treatment, education and adapted recreational opportunities that are specific to your needs and interests. We create personalized goals, whether you are recovering from surgery at home or are in an acute inpatient rehabilitation center.
