Pathways Integrative Therapies - Animal-Assisted Activities

Animal-Assisted Activities use the affection for animals that many people feel to enhance quality of life. The presence of animals has been demonstrated to have healthful benefits such as lowering blood pressure and aiding relaxation. Animals can be a diversion from pain and provide avenues for communication in withdrawn patients.
