Hippotherapy is a beautiful and highly effective method of physical therapy, used to bring midline awareness and symmetry to postpartum mamas, to incorporate their deep and superficial core muscles, and to enjoy 30 minutes of being astride–outdoors with a horse and the breeze— free from baby wearing/holding for a bit but within sight of her precious little one. It’s lovely to see smiles when mamas feel relief in their tissues, reconnect with their breath, and feel their inherent strength through supportive tissues come alive again. Hippotherapy can also be used in conjunction with Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy with Amy, for a well-rounded assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor, inner and outer core muscles, and assistance with postural alignment and breath.
