Hi Jonathan! I'm in Denmark and things might be different here. But sport is used a lot in mental health - by both OTs and PTs, that is. Sport is used in rehabilitation from physical injury - SCI rehab always includes this - again, both OT and PT work on this. Being e.g. an OT there are different sport educations and courses that you can take - some of them geared towards adaptive sports for people with disabilities, others more general - think I've even seen one that leads to a university degree in sports.......... Actually, in most of my OT jobs I had a hard time avoiding too much sport (-: susanne, denmark *********��*********** Unsubscribe?
