Hippotherapy For Kids At Happy Farms Malaysia
Healing Through Horses
Did you know that hippotherapy comes from the Ancient Greek words meaning “horse” (hippos) and “treatment” (therapy). Hippotherapy is an innovative therapeutic approach that combines the gentle movements of horses with the expertise of skilled therapists to address a wide range of physical, emotional, and developmental challenges in children. Kids embark on a path of healing, growth, and discovery through this magical journey. Beyond the physical benefits, hippotherapy encourages emotional expression, boosts self-esteem, and provides a safe space for children to process feelings and emotions.
If you have a special needs child who is facing challenges related to sensory processing, motor skills, communication, or emotional well-being, consider contacting Happy Farms Malaysia in Putrajaya, to start them on a journey of healing, growth, and empowerment with the help of these majestic animals, and of course the experts, including founders Nurirdiyana, a pediatric occupational therapist who specializes in hippotherapy and her husband, Dr. Dev, as well as their team.
