Hippotherapy at Rocking Horse Physiotherapy

Hippotherapy at Rocking Horse Physiotherapy Hippotherapy, or equine facilitated physiotherapy, is a specialised clinical intervention that uses the movements of the horse to achieve functional outcomes.

Working alongside Rossington Hall RDA in Doncaster, and also covering Sheffield and Rotherham. Hippotherapy can be helpful for both children and adults and for a wide variety of conditions such as, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, congenital syndromes and traumatic brain injury. The rhythmical, repetitive movements of the horse help to stimulate trunk control, balance, postural alignment, and motor planning, along with other multisensory effects. Riding skills are not taught in hippotherapy, instead a qualified Hippotherapist will change the position of the client on the horse, for example lying, sitting forward or rear facing, kneeling or even standing with very small children to achieve the desired response.
