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 'Volunteers' Week' drawing to a close, I would like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to the wonderful people who are my 'Hippo Helpers'. Without their support and dedication, Hippotherapy at Rocking Horse Physiotherapy could not exist. Turning up in all weathers and giving up their Saturdays, when many have full time jobs, they truely are an amazing bunch. Each bringing their own special skills they are all as individual as the young people we work with. Thank you all. I hope you realise how much you mean to me and the families we work with. Do you have time on a Saturday and would be interested in joining our hippotherapy family? We would love to hear from you.
