It is an effective method of rehabilitation and healing for children with cerebral palsy (CP), developmental coordination disorder (DCD), sensory processing disorders (SPD), autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and more.<\/p>\n<p>Hippotherapy affects the human body through two factors: psychogenic and biomechanical.<\/p>\n<p>The biomechanical influence of hippotherapy occurs through the horse&#8217;s movements, stimulating the peripheral nervous system.<\/p>\n<p>The psychogenic factor involves interaction with the horse, which evokes a multitude of positive emotions. It also helps overcome fear, enhances self-esteem, and develops the child&#8217;s ability to connect with the external world. Working with an instructor-psychologist in a friendly atmosphere allows the child to relax, release tension, and normalise their behaviour.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221;
