The term Hippotherapy refers to how occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech-language pathology professionals use evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning in the purposeful manipulation of equine movement as a therapy tool to engage sensory, neuromotor and cognitive systems to promote functional outcomes.
"OT, PT and SLP professionals use evidence-based practice and clinical reasoning in the purposeful manipulation of equine movement to engage the sensorimotor and neuromotor systems to create functional change in their patients. Used with other neuromotor and sensorimotor tools/techniques, hippotherapy is one tool used in a patient’s integrated plan of care in occupational, physical or speech-language therapy."
