Horseback Riding: What´s Complementary Therapy?

Complementary therapies are noninvasive ways for a child to improve posture and movement difficulties that are caused by CP. Horseback riding is a great way to help muscles become stronger and may also help control posture. Assisted aquatic therapy has proven helpful with moods and emotions as documented by Kim Jingu in 2016. According to Jingu, a controlled experiment was completed with individuals (age varied) who used horse back riding and assisted aquatic therapy. The tests were trying to identify the type of complementary therapy that would stimulate the brain and increase emotions. In conclusion, it was reported that assisted aquatic therapy increased emotions such as moods and the brain was stimulated more often than with horseback riding
therapy. Another form of therapy is acupuncture because it has been used for many types of diseases due to it’s delivery of energy in a therapeutic way throughout the body. Finally, the earlier a child is provided with treatment, the better the odds will be for the child. Even if the child was diagnosed with severe CP, treatment will help the child cope, and ease any pain, improve movements, even help a child manage stress toward social interactions.
