Hey

Did you know that chaos theory could explain why Hippotherapy is so effective?

Or that zebrafish research might hold the key to understanding idiopathic scoliosis?

I'm super excited to get into some out of the box (or clinic) thinking with my next WiredOn interview guests, Jane Burrows and Susie Rehr.

These two amazing thought leaders were introduced to me by the equally amazing Dr. Mary Massery, and when she's impressed by someone, you know you want to stop and pay attention!

Susie Rehr, PT, HPCS, and Jane Burrows, PT, DPT, HPCS, are both highly experienced physical therapists specializing in the integration of equine movement/hippotherapy into their therapy practice.

Susie Rehr has been providing physical therapy services to the pediatric population, integrating hippotherapy treatment principles, for over 23 years. As the Executive Director at Special Strides, a PATH Premier Center, she has dedicated her career to integrating the use of equine movement in physical therapy treatment plans and teaching others. Susie is certified as a Hippotherapy Clinical Specialist (HPCS) and has trained over 45 clinical education students.

Jane Burrows has been practicing as a physical therapist for almost five decades. She holds a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and is a Clinical Specialist in Hippotherapy. Jane's expertise extends to being an Equine Specialist in Mental Health and Learning. At Special Strides, she serves as the Director of Operations, where she combines her extensive physical therapy knowledge with her passion for equine movement creating it and utilizing it.

Susie and Jane have a unique way of bringing together neuroscience, physics, and rehabilitation. If you attended our Clinical Excellence Summit you would have heard their talks on the connection between head control assessment and overall rehabilitation outcomes, how chaos theory helps us understand and improve therapy interventions and the role of cerebrospinal fluid flow in acquisition of movement, and how therapy integrating equine movement might influence it.

FASCINATING STUFF!!
