What does it actually mean to heal? Recreation therapy takes the work done in PT, OT, and the clinic and puts it into real life. Today, that's fly fishing.
From first-timers nervous to leave the house to Veterans already planning their return trip next year, the water has a way of bringing people back to themselves.
Stay tuned all week for more episodes of the Downhill Daily!
The National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic is the world leader in rehabilitation. Approximately 400 profoundly disabled Veterans participate from across the country. Veterans with TBIs, spinal cord injuries, visual impairments, amputations, multiple sclerosis, and other severe disabilities are challenged to overcome perceived limitations through adaptive skiing, sled hockey, scuba diving, rock wall climbing, education and other activities. It is the largest rehabilitative event of its kind in the world.
