🥁 Cardio drumming is a fun and low impact way for inpatient rehabilitation patients to add some more movement after their full day of therapy.

The activity combines aspects of traditional drumming with a dance component.

Each week, the Recreational Therapy team at Penn Medicine Rehabilitation, an inpatient rehabilitation unit of the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, leads group participants through various movements while using a medicine ball, drumsticks and a base for support. Cardio drumming is great for addressing endurance, coordination and socialization while decreasing stress and anxiety.

Some of the best quotes the Recreational Therapy team has received include, "Great for the heart and soul" and, "The best time I've had since I've been here!"

July is celebrated annually as Disability Pride Month, marking the momentous signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) on July 26, 1990.

Happy Disability Pride Month from all of us at GSPP Rehabilitation!
