Not to be confused with Hypnotherapy and having nothing to do with the Hippopotamus…
Hippotherapy comes form the Greek word “hippos,” which means horse. Hippotherapy is a medical treatment for clients with movement dysfunction, through the multi-dimensional movements of the horse. Hippotherapy is effective because the human anatomy and the equine anatomy are similar. When a person is astride a horse and horse walks, the human pelvis moves just as though the person were walking. Simultaneously, you get movement in three planes - the forward and backward movements, the side to side movements and the rotational and linear forward movements. When used by specially trained Physical, Occupational and Speech Therapists, equine intervention and Hippotherapy can provide several major benefits to the client:
Who can use Hippotherapy? Individuals who can benefit from this medical treatment have a variety of diagnoses. Common examples include:
Hippotherapy sessions are always conducted with a state licensed therapist at Stable Movements Therapuetic Riding |
Therapeutic riding uses equine-oriented activities for the purpose of contributing positively to the cognitive, physical, emotional and social well being of special needs children and adults. It provides benefits in the areas of therapy, education, sport, recreation and leisure.
Hippotherapy...Therapeutic Riding?
Whats the Difference?
Patients receiving Hippotherapy do not typically control the movement of the horse. As the American Hippotherapy Association describes, Hippotherapy takes place in a controlled environment where graded sensory input can elicit appropriate responses from the rider. Specific riding skills are not taught as in Therapeutic Riding. Instead a foundation is established to improve neurological function and sensory processing.
