Hippotherapy bristol neurophysio
Posted 28/06/18

A small group of us from Bristol Neurophysio met with the lovely Jo McMeehan this week. 

Jo is a specialist paediatric physiotherapist who has completed further training in Hippotherapy and now offers this service at the Avon Riding Centre. 

Hippotherapy involves using ponies and horses within rehabilitation and has been shown to improve a child's postural control, balance and ambulatory skills.

It can also have hugely positive benefits on their mental health and overall wellbeing.

We're looking forward to working with Jo more in the future with some of our clients.

Some kind words

I have been using Bristol neurophysio for 7 years now since suffering a spinal injury resulting in tetraplegia & spending 4 years in hospital & then a care home before I was able to return home. 
During my time back with Kirsty & her team's help I have been able to keep up a solid regime helping keep my tone down & strength up. 
With their help I’ve been able to pursue an active lifestyle.
