Hey !
If you thought that hippotherapy was just a fun thing to do for 'horsey people' your mind is going to be blown by this interview with Susie Rehr and Jane Burrows!
Of course if you're into hippotherapy you're not going to be surprised at all, but you are going to love the way Susie and Jane explain the magic and science of equine assisted therapy.
"We all walk and move in three dimensions... there is nothing else that is out there that moves in those same three dimensions, and that moves through space and incorporates visual flow, incorporates the ground, incorporates the sensation and incorporates physics
Susie Rehr
... in a 45 minute session, our client might have 3,500 repetitions of a motor pattern."
Jane Burrows
This was such a fun topic to dig into with loads of food for thought on what we do as therapists, how we translate that into functional gains for our clients and how hippotherapy can make what we do even more effective.
