WELCOME TO
SPIRIT REHABILITATION CENTER
We provide rehabilitation sessions with the help of horses for military personnel, veterans, internally displaced persons (IDPs), children with disabilities, neurodivergent and neurotypical children, as well as for anyone who wishes to improve their physical and emotional well-being.
Our goal is to support physical recovery, emotional balance, mental health, and help people regain a sense of stability, trust, and connection with life.
Hippotherapy (rehabilitation with the help of horses) is an effective method of physical and psycho-emotional recovery. It is officially recognized by the Ministry of Health of Ukraine and is included in treatment protocols for children with organic disorders of the central nervous system.
Hippotherapy belongs to the field of medical and social rehabilitation and helps improve motor functions, coordination, emotional stability, and overall quality of life.
Our mission is movement, recovery, and connection. We create a safe space where people can reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and the world around them.

Please note!
Hippotherapy is NOT just horse riding. It is a therapeutic method that must be conducted by certified specialists, as it involves many specific aspects. Without proper knowledge and training, it is impossible to achieve the desired rehabilitation results.
The foundation of hippotherapy is the biomechanics of the horse and its therapeutic impact on the rider’s body.
Hippotherapy also has a number of medical contraindications.
Simple horse riding can be a pleasant leisure activity, but it is not hippotherapy. Improper or unprofessional load distribution may cause harm, especially to children. Please be careful and always ask about the specialist’s certification and professional experience.
