What is hippotherapy? What is the purpose of the different positions? Let's look at one of the many positions we utilize to help reach our functional goals for the kiddos:

SUPINE

The patient is supine (on their back), head on the rump, and parallel to the body of the horse.

* Provides strong vestibular and proprioceptive input.
* Facilitates dynamic head to toe connection.
* Facilitates midline orientation and weight shift across midline.
* Provides total contact/weight bearing to extensor surface of trunk and pelvis.
* Facilitates supine equilibrium responses.
* Encourages elongation of pectorals and rib cage expansion.
* Relaxation of spastic muscles; particularly hip flexors.
* Facilitates swallow responses.
* Facilitates velar (k, g) and liquid (r) sounds due to gravity assistance.

Happy 14-year work anniversary to our Clinical Director and physical therapist - Beth Saip!!!

"Coming back here 14 years ago after starting my career here more than 20 years ago, was the best decision. I love helping kids and their families every day, and especially with the team I get to work with. "The Dream Team" I am so proud to have been a part of growing this very special program into what it is today, and can't wait to see how many lives we can continue to impact together!"
