Our licensed physical therapist uses the variable rhythmic and repetitive movement of the horse to stimulate healthy pelvis movement in humans. The sensory input provided by the horse helps to increase or restore the balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, and/or endurance of patients. Partnered with the treatment strategies of the physical therapist and your physician's prescribed treatment goals, physical therapy incorporating hippotherapy offers and alternative approach to improving mobility.
