There is now an extensive literature on therapeutic landscapes, those settings and places that can contribute to wellbeing and good health. Less attention has been paid to the therapeutic qualities of the act of moving from one place to another. The recent emergence of a significant mobilities 'turn' in social science is welcome, but this has as yet had relatively little to say about the consequences of mobility for health and wellbeing. This paper maps the relations between one form of mobility - walking - and wellbeing and health. Such relations may be theorised as 'therapeutic mobilities', a concept that sits comfortably alongside that of therapeutic landscapes. I explore three elements of such relations: activity; connection; and context. Although only one form of mobility is considered, the notion of therapeutic mobilities can be extended to other forms of travel.
现在有大量关于治疗性景观的文献,这些景观和场所可以促进健康和良好的健康。然而,人们对从一个地方到另一个地方的移动的治疗质量关注较少。最近,社会科学中出现了一个重要的流动性“转向”,这是受欢迎的,但到目前为止,关于流动性对健康和幸福的影响,它还没有太多的说法。本文探讨了一种流动性——步行——与健康和幸福之间的关系。这些关系可以被理论化为“治疗性流动”,这一概念与治疗性景观相得益彰。我探讨了这种关系的三个要素:活动;联系;和上下文。虽然只考虑了一种形式的流动性,但治疗性流动的概念可以扩展到其他形式的旅行。
