What is Hippotherapy?

Hippotherapy is a method of rehabilitation through therapeutic riding. It is one of the oldest methods of physiotherapy and psychological therapy, known since the times of Hippocrates. Based on the stimulation of neurological functions and sensory processes, Hippotherapy is an auxiliary method of rehabilitation treatment. It is widely used in case of locomotor system problems, autistic symptoms, psycho-verbal delay, behavioral and mental development disorders.

Artissimo Cultural NGO has been providing Hippotherapy for children with special needs in Gegharkunik and Vayots Dzor regions for 6 years. Hippotherapy is one of the rehabilitation therapies of the Voskeporik Development Center established by the Artissimo NGO in the above-mentioned regions. The overarching goal of all rehabilitation therapies of the Voskeporik Development Center is the integration of children with special needs into society.

The goal of the therapy is to improve the quality of life of children.

The goal of the "Hippotherapy For Children" project is to make therapy accessible to a larger number of children. Currently, Artissimo NGO has the opportunity to serve only 24 children with special needs. In case the program is implemented, we plan to provide therapy opportunities for at least 60 children with special needs and 30 children with normal development.
