Hippotherapy

This is an intervention in physical, occupational, or speech therapy that utilizes equine movement as a treatment strategy. The treatment addresses impairments, functional limitations, and disabilities in patients with neuromotor and/or sensory dysfunction as part of an integrated program to achieve functional goals.

 

The motion of the horses natural gait closely mimics our own, challenging trunk muscles and balance subconsciously in a fun and rewarding way.
