What is Hippotherapy?
Last week the definition of hippotherapy was introduced, along with an explanation of how the movement of the horse impacts postural control, in turn improving respiratory support for speech production. Did you know we have not only our five senses, but we also have two very important sensory systems, the vestibular system and the proprioceptive system. Do you remember merry- go-rounds and swings on playgrounds when you were in school? Those were actually very important in developing your sensory systems, specifically the vestibular sensory system, the “unifying” system.
