Hippotherapy Criteria
Where Little Miracles Happen Every Day
Process overview: Hippotherapy is a medical therapeutic strategy which seeks to address particular physical, occupational and/or speech therapy goal/s. Physicians and licensed therapists are essential to the therapy process.
- Rider family consults with family physician (typically pediatrician or orthopod) to determine if Hippotherapy may be appropriate.
- Therapeutic prescription is provided to InStride (fax 941-483-3653) or (email).
- InStride therapist evaluates rider for suitability of Hippotherapy to meet prescription's goals.
- Rider family and Program Coordinator review time slots, forms to be completed, and charges prior to start of therapy.
Please Note: Although Kristy is no longer with InStride, the process described in this video is essentially the same for our riders and their families. Please view the video and then contact us at 941-412-9333 to connect with Cindy - Program Coordinator.
