Hippotherapy and Cerebral Palsy – Special Strides Part 1

by Robert A. D'Iorio

The following video is the first of a two part series from the television program Table for 12. It features a family taking their child with cerebral palsy to hippotherapy or horse therapy for the first time.

Hippotherapy is therapy using a horse to strengthen the core muscles and improve balance.
