Hippotherapy

Hippotherapy is a rehabilitative treatment strategy that utilizes the horse's movement to achieve functional outcomes.

  1. Hippotherapy is available to children 2-10 years of age from March through mid-December.
  2. The horse provides multidimensional movement, which is variable, rhythmic and repetitive.
  3. The horse provides a dynamic base of support, supporting trunk strength and control, balance, postural strength and endurance.
  4. The horse offers well modulated sensory input to vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile and visual systems.
  5. The horse's gait imparts movement responses remarkably similar to normal human gait.
