Hippotherapy
Derived from the ancient Greek word "hippos" meaning horse, Hippotherapy consists of therapy performed by our Licensed Medical Therapists using the horse to further progress towards client's goals. The horse provides a moving base from which physical and occupational therapy can be practiced upon. Our therapists use this knowledge and medical experience as a licensed professional in order to help clients achieve their therapy goals.
At All Star Equestrian we offer the following therapy disciplines:
-
Occupational Therapy
-
Physical Therapy
Hippotherapy is a growing therapy discipline that has a number of benefits that include improving fine and gross movements, balance, expressive and receptive speech and language, neuromotor function, posture, muscle strength, endurance, self confidence and more.
