Integrated Rehabilitation Program at the University Museum

This intervention consists of an 8-week integrated rehabilitation program, with weekly 60-minute sessions, conducted at the University Museum (Museo Universitario UD'A). The program includes mindfulness techniques, conscious breathing exercises, body scan meditation, mindfulness walking within the museum's exhibition spaces, specific stretching and mobilization techniques, and gratitude and recognition exercises, all framed by the artistic and cultural context of the museum. The museum environment is utilized as a therapeutic setting to amplify the benefits of the behavioral techniques.
