All Work and NO Recreation Therapy...

The Ramp. It. Up! Podcast

On today's episode of The Ramp. It. Up! Podcast we are talking about Recreational Therapy. An often overlooked and underappreciated branch of the rehabilitation process, recreational therapy has been instrumental in my recovery and the recovery of countless others. My friend and long time recreational therapist, Laura Ridler joins me on the show to share about her more than 30 years experience as a Rec Therapist. Her career has taken her to Hawaii, back to the mainland and all over the states as a basketball coach, a therapist, and an overall wellness activist! Tune in for a great conversation and remember, all work and no RECREATION makes Jack a dull boy!
