Equine Therapie

 

Introduction

 

Equine therapy is an alternative therapy used by professionals of physical or mental health, to promote the rehabilitation of children, adolescents and adults at the neuromuscular, psychological, cognitive and social levels, by means of the horse as a therapeutic tool.

 

Equine therapy is recommended for multiple mental, physical, sensory, psychological disorders, language or learning disorders and people with problems of social maladjustment.

 

The movements of a person on horseback at the pace, are almost identical to those of a person walking, both follow the same pattern of movement in the human pelvis and trunk, while the rider is sitting at the center of the horse's back.

 

Who we are

 

We are a group of professionals qualified in child neuropsychology, mindfulness, experts in communication skills in people with disabilities and qualified instructors in Equine Therapy. As well as horse riding professionals and experts from the world of horses. Our vision is to achieve an improvement in the daily life of our patients and students and support them in their physical, emotional and cognitive development.

 

There are publications that consider the utility of equinoterapies as complementary therapies, without being a substitute for other treatments. Improvements have been confirmed in the development of motor skills, improved control of muscle tone, posture, behavior and emotional adjustment in children with cerebral palsy, sensory difficulties, and paraplegics. As well as in adolescents and adults with some type of addiction or difficulty in social integration.

 

We love our work and we focus on the development and well-being of each of our patients and students


Technics

 

Hippotherapy: It consists of taking advantage of the therapeutic principles of the horse to treat people with physical disabilities, whether congenital or acquired. It is based on aspects such as the transmission of body heat from the horse's body to the person, rhythmic impulses and three-dimensional movement.

 

Therapeutic riding: Through contact with the horse and the motivation it generates, it looks for solutions to the learning and adaptation problems presented by people affected by a disability. Increases motivation, stimulates affectivity, improves attention and concentration, stimulates tactile, visual, auditory and olfactory sensitivity, helps learning and increases the capacity for independence.

 

Adapted riding: Aimed at those people who practice horse riding as a recreational or sports option, but who, due to their disability, need adaptations to access the horse.

 

Social Equinotherapy: This discipline uses the same principles as Therapeutic Equitation but focused on assisting people with problems of social adaptation. Equestrian activities are carried out in which the affective relationships generated with the horses are used to help the users to resolve their conflicts and thus achieve re-integration into society and gain security in communication with others.
