Hippotherapy-K

Hippotherapy-K is physiotherapy on horseback. It is mainly used for MS patients and children with cerebral movement disorder. The transfer of movement from the horse's back to the patient is used. In this way, gait-typical balance reactions in the trunk can be optimally trained and tensions in the pelvis and spasticity of the lower extremities can be eased. Children are supported in their motor development. For many patients, hippotherapy-K is an important form of therapy for maintaining as good a quality of life as possible.

The horse handler leads the horse while the therapist walks alongside and supports the patient. Hippotherapy-K takes place in the open air, in sunshine but also in rain and snow. Thus, in addition to the actual therapeutic purpose, the weather and the seasons can be experienced. And of course there are the moments of happiness of sitting on a horse and "riding".

The costs for hippotherapy-K are covered by insurance companies for MS patients and children with cerebral movement disorder.
