Manual Arts Therapy

Manual Arts Therapy is the use of various aesthetic experiences like carving, painting, photography, and other related crafts in rehabilitation. Other modalities such as dance, music, and drama are also utilized as rehabilitation schemes.

For instance, a manual arts therapist coordinated with an interpretative dance choreographer, sculptor, and musician. His clients are then asked to express themselves through manual arts to enhance their wellbeing in various aspects. Specifically, children with cancer were encouraged to express hope and gratitude through dancing, sculpting, and playing musical instruments or singing.
