The term hippotherapy refers to a treatment strategy that incorporates the beneficial rhythmic and multi-dimensional movement of the horse to engage the sensory, neuromotor, and cognitive systems. Hippotherapy used as one of the treatment strategies, is practiced by licensed physical and occupational therapists and speech/language pathologist professionals.
