🌿🚲 Learning Physical Therapy in the Great Outdoors! 🚲🌿
Today, ReWild had the privilege of hosting University of Arkansas Physical Therapy students at Coler for an immersive day of learning, movement, and adventure!
The purpose of today’s class was to explore how nature can be a powerful therapeutic modality for individuals with physical disabilities, creating opportunities to work on strength, balance, coordination, endurance, motor planning, and confidence in ways that feel meaningful and FUN.
The students participated in:
🌱 Nature-based activity labs designed to challenge physical and motor skills
🥾 A sensorimotor hike to Airship, incorporating the natural environment into movement and therapeutic activities
🚲 Hands-on learning about adaptive recreation and sports
A huge THANK YOU to Sean with Ozark Adaptive Sports Association for bringing adaptive bikes and sharing his expertise with the students! Getting to experience adaptive equipment firsthand, and learning about the incredible sports and recreation opportunities available to people with disabilities, is such an important part of understanding truly inclusive care.
At ReWild, we believe therapy doesn’t have to happen between four walls. The trail, the trees, the terrain, and the community can all become part of the therapeutic experience. 🌲💚
We loved spending the day with the next generation of physical therapists and showing them what’s possible when we ReWild the way we think about therapy! 🌿
