A Shot of AG
How Horses Became a Tool for Therapy
Clip: Season 6 Episode 32 | 34s
Elizabeth Nielsen explains hippotherapy and how horses support therapeutic goals.
Elizabeth Nielsen explains hippotherapy and the role horses can play within speech and other therapy. Rather than teaching a client how to ride, the therapist uses the horse’s movement as a tool, much like other forms of sensory or movement-based support. Nielsen first encountered the approach at another clinic before incorporating horses into her own practice.
