Hippotherapy

Hippotherapy is a specialized form of physical, occupational, or speech therapy that uses the unique movements of a horse to help individuals with disabilities or health issues. The rhythmic motion of the horse mimics human gait, providing sensory input that can improve balance, coordination, and muscle strength. Therapists guide the sessions, integrating the horse's movement into therapeutic activities tailored to each individual's needs. This engaging form of therapy not only promotes physical benefits but also enhances emotional well-being and social skills through interaction with the horse and the therapeutic environment.
