Equine Assisted Therapy, also known as therapy with horses, is a form of therapy that involves working with horses to improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Studies have shown that equine therapy may be beneficial for patients with Parkinson’s disease, a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and can cause tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
Equine therapy can help patients with Parkinson’s disease improve their balance, coordination, and mobility, as well as reduce stress and anxiety. In addition, working with horses can provide a sense of achievement and improve self-confidence.
Overall, equine therapy can be a valuable tool for patients with Parkinson’s disease. By improving physical function, reducing stress and anxiety, and providing a sense of accomplishment, equine therapy can help patients with Parkinson’s disease improve their quality of life.
At Park Horse Project, we incorporate the “Large 10 Parkinson’s Program” exercise program specifically designed for clients with Parkinson’s disease. The program focuses on 10 key exercises that target areas such as balance, posture, flexibility, and strength. These exercises can be done both on and off a horse, making equine therapy an ideal setting for clients to participate in the program. The program also incorporates cognitive and sensory challenges to help clients improve their cognitive function and reduce the risk of falls. By participating in our Equine Assisted Therapy program, individuals with Parkinson's disease in an equine therapy setting, can benefit from the physical and emotional support of the horse, as well as the guidance and supervision of trained instructors.
Our equine therapy program for clients with Parkinson's disease involves a 6 week program (1-2 sessions a week) with a trained instructor. We match one of our specially trained horses to each individual. Each session is structured around specific goals and activities that are tailored to the client's individual needs and abilities. The program may also involve ongoing communication and collaboration with the patient's healthcare team to ensure that the therapy is integrated into the patient's overall treatment plan.
When combined with the Large 10 Parkinson’s Program, equine therapy can provide a comprehensive approach to managing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and improving overall well-being.
Schedule a visit today to learn more about our program, visit our facility, and meet the team. If you are ready to start on a new journey to improving the quality of life for yourself or your loved one, you can schedule your first 6 week session.
