Quality of Life Programs
Horticultural Therapy
Gardening activities such as planting seeds, watering plants, repotting, pruning, and harvesting provide a range of physical benefits, including strengthening muscles and improving coordination, flexibility, balance, and fine motor skills. At Reuth TLV, garden therapy takes place on Reuth TLV’s beautiful rooftop garden.
Spiritual Guidance
Spiritual guidance offers a vital source of support during challenging transitions, such as a life-changing illness or injury. Specially trained spiritual care providers meet with patients and their families to explore each person’s fears and hopes while honoring their beliefs, values, and worldviews. Through these compassionate interactions, they help patients find meaning and resilience even if complete physical rehabilitation is not possible.
Music Therapy
Playing musical instruments improves motor skills, such as hand strength and coordination. Singing improves pulmonary function and oral motor skills. Listening to music improves responsiveness by stimulating areas of the brain responsible for memory and movement, helping patients relearn skills that were lost due to illness or injury.
Alternative Medicine
There is a natural connection between complementary medicine and rehabilitation. Both are holistic practices that address a person’s welfare as a whole. For example, acupuncture and tuina help stroke patients restore their speech and movement. Medical massage relaxes stiff muscles after complex surgeries. Shiatsu and reflexology relax the nervous system and can improve sleep.
Animal Therapy
Reuth TLV’s pediatric departments provide care for children requiring round-the-clock nursing and medical support due to genetic conditions, congenital and chronic diseases, accidents, severe brain injuries, and more. During animal therapy, we bring dogs, rabbits, and guinea pigs to the children, providing them with sensory stimulation and giving them an opportunity to interact with animals, which most would never have the chance to do outside of this setting.
Iyengar Yoga Therapy
Many people associate yoga with meditation and mental relaxation. However, not everyone realizes that yoga can also help cope with chronic pain, migraines, or healing after an injury. At the hospital, we practice, Iyengar Yoga which is a physical, mental, and emotional practice. When working with patients, we focus on their overall wellbeing including issues such as poor sleep and mental tension, not only the specific medical conditions for which they are hospitalized.
