Hippotherapist

A hippotherapist provides therapy that uses the movement of a horse. Treatment using a horse’s help benefits a range of conditions while also serving as a motivator for inhibited patients. Hippotherapy is usually given to those with cerebral palsy, autism, and sensory processing difficulties. It’s also a fantastic form of physiotherapy for stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, and multiple sclerosis.

It takes 6,000 hours of practice and an exam to be qualified as a hippotherapist by the American Hippotherapy Association. Hippotherapy can be used to treat physical, occupational, and speech-related issues, as well.
