Enhanced Therapy

In enhanced therapy, we perform what is called “Hippotherapy.” Don’t be deceived, we’re still using horses. Hippotherapy refers to the use of the horse as a medical treatment strategy and not as a method to teach riding. This type of session is a recognized medical treatment milieu in making gains with various impairments, functional limitations, and individuals experiencing neuromuscular dysfunctions. We use a wide range of activities on the horse that are meaningful to the client. The treatment takes place in a controlled environment where graded sensory input can elicit appropriate adaptive responses to improve neurological function and sensory processing. This foundation can then be generalized to a wide range of daily activities.
