Hippotherapy

What’s in a name? “Hippo” is the Greek term for horse, so hippotherapy is our evidence-based therapy program where kids get to interact with our amazing team of horses. Hippotherapy can address goals across physical, occupational, and speech therapy—improving balance and coordination, enhancing sensory integration, and even boosting self-confidence.

Hippotherapy enhances traditional therapy by allowing children to experience a special connection—sensory, emotional, and physical—with their horse and the environment that surrounds them as they work toward their goals.

At Dynamic Strides, our friendly horses are an important part of our therapy team and play a vital role in your child’s integrated plan of care.
