What if therapy didn’t feel like therapy at all?

At our clinic, hippotherapy uses the natural movement of a horse to support occupational, physical, and speech therapy in powerful, evidence-based ways.

Here’s how it helps ⬇️
🐴 Occupational Therapy: Improves sensory processing, fine-motor skills, attention, and regulation through rhythmic movement and purposeful tasks.
🐴 Physical Therapy: Builds core strength, balance, coordination, and postural control as the rider responds to the horse’s gait.
🐴 Speech Therapy: Supports communication, breath control, engagement, and language development through structured interaction and movement.

The best part? Kids don’t just work hard, they light up.
The horse becomes a partner in their progress, making goals feel fun, empowering, and full of possibility.

If you’re curious about how hippotherapy could benefit your child, we’d love to share more.
