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.

With Volunteer's Week drawing to a close, I would like to say a huge thank you to all the volunteers who help out at Hippotherapy at Rocking Horse Physiotherapy and Rossington Hall Riding for the Disabled. Without you we couldn't function. Here are just a few of our amazing volunteers with Jackson, who thinks you are all friendly and make sessions more interesting by playing games with him.

Do you have a few hours to spare on a Saturday, or during the week? We are always looking for new volunteers to join Hippotherapy at Rocking Horse Physiotherapy on Saturdays, or if Saturday is not a good day for you, Rossington Hall Riding for the Disabled also runs Monday to Friday, so we are looking for helpers for other days too. Sometimes our helpers need a break, due to a change in family commitments, starting at university, or health problems, so we are always on the look out for extra helpers. We are a friendly bunch and all training is provided so no previous experience is required. Come and work with our specially trained ponies, join our team of friendly volunteer helpers, and best of all meet our wonderful families who come to use our services. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Hippotherapy at Rocking Horse Physiotherapy would like to wish everyone a very Happy New Year and best wishes for 2024. ...
