Hippotherapy

Hippotherapy comes from the Ancient Greek words meaning "horse" (hippos) and "treatment" (therapy). It is used as a treatment tool and is derived from evidence based practice. Using intentional movements of the horse, sensory, neuromotor, and cognitive systems are influenced to promote functional outcomes in individuals with physical and psychosocial disabilities and impairments.

A Physiotherapist with specialised training in Hippotherapy will provide treatment plans tailored to people’s physical needs and ability to ride. The therapist will manipulate the horse's movements as well as the rider’s positioning to attain functional outcomes in the areas of:

  • Gait training
  • Balance
  • Postural control
  • Strengthening
  • Range of motion
  • Improvement of muscle tone
  • Proprioception
  • Vestibular input
