at The Right Step

The Right Step specializes in a
form of medical intervention called HIPPOTHERAPY, an individualized patient
treatment utilizing movement of a horse to meet identified therapy goals.
Hippotherapy is not a riding lesson. It is one form of Occupational,
Physical, and Speech Therapy treatment prescribed by a physician and
delivered by a team that includes a licensed, credentialed therapist in
conjunction with a professional horse handler and a specially screened and
trained therapy horse.
The Right Step works
cooperatively with you to enhance physical, perceptual, and learning skills.
We provide Occupational Therapy and Additional
Services including home programming, therapeutic listening, myofascial
release, craniosacral treatments, and life skills training in a natural
environment that includes the mental and emotional benefits associated with the
human-animal bond.
