Hippotherapy in Rock Hill, SC
Welcome to the Ranch!
Welcome to Carolina Therapeutic Ranch, 7 acres of tucked-away tranquility in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Here we provide hippotherapy to children ages 2+ in need of Speech, Physical, and/or Occupational Therapy services. We blend traditional therapy treatment plans with equine movement with the goal of helping our clients increase their physical, social, emotional, sensory, and cognitive skills to improve their overall quality of life. Our purpose-built hippotherapy facility is conveniently located to serve families throughout the Charlotte, NC metro area.
What Is Hippotherapy?
Hippotherapy is a form of equine-assisted therapy which delivers traditional multidisciplinary pediatric therapy services using horses as a dynamic therapy tool. During each hour-long hippotherapy session, two providers – an AHCB (American Hippotherapy Certification Board) therapist and a licensed clinician – deliver Speech, Physical, and/or Occupational Therapy while the client is on horseback. The rhythm, warmth, and neuromotor inputs from the horse are invaluable to each client’s progression toward achieving positive therapeutic outcomes.
