Why does hippotherapy work? 🐴

One of the most unique things about hippotherapy is that the horse itself becomes part of the therapeutic intervention.

The horse’s natural movement provides a dynamic way to work on physical, sensory, motor, and functional goals.

But it’s about more than movement.

The sensory experience, connection with the horse, and motivation to participate can create meaningful opportunities to build confidence, practice new skills, and stay engaged in therapy.

Movement + sensory experiences + meaningful participation + connection can make hippotherapy a truly unique therapeutic experience.

Occupational Therapy is about so much more than exercises.

From helping babies learn to feed, to improving handwriting in children, recovering after surgery, or helping older adults remain independent, Occupational Therapy supports people through every stage of life.

At Florence Therapy & Wellness, our Occupational Therapists and Physical Therapists work together to provide comprehensive care. While PT often focuses on improving movement and strength, OT helps patients use those improvements in the activities that matter most every day.

Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing a neurological condition, supporting your child's development, or simply looking to improve your independence, we're here to help.

✨ Every goal matters.
✨ Every age matters.
✨ Every patient matters.

πŸ’™ PT + OT: Better Together πŸ’š

When people hear "therapy," they often think of Physical Therapy (PT)β€”and for good reason! PT plays an essential role in helping people reduce pain, improve mobility, build strength, and recover after injury or surgery.

But did you know that Occupational Therapy (OT) can help turn those physical improvements into greater independence in everyday life?

Think of it this way:

πŸ‹οΈ PT helps you build the strength.
🍳 OT helps you use that strength to cook a meal, get dressed, return to work, care for your family, enjoy hobbies, or safely manage your home.

At Florence Therapy & Wellness, our PTs and OTs work side-by-side to help patients achieve meaningful, lasting results.

For example:
βœ”οΈ PT may improve shoulder strength after surgery.
βœ”οΈ OT helps you comfortably reach into cabinets, style your hair, prepare meals, or complete work tasks using that improved movement.

Together, PT and OT don't just help you recoverβ€”they help you get back to the life you want to live.

Every person's goals are different, which is why your therapy plan should be, too. Our team works together to make sure you're not only moving better, but living better.

✨ Recovery is strongest when every step forward has a purpose.

What is Occupational Therapy? 🌿

OT helps people build (or rebuild) the skills they need for everyday life β€” from getting dressed and cooking, to focusing at school, to returning to work after an injury.

It's for all ages and all abilities:
βœ”οΈ Kids working on motor skills, sensory processing, or emotional regulation
βœ”οΈ Adults recovering from injury, surgery, or illness
βœ”οΈ Adults navigating memory loss, brain injury, stroke, or other cognitive changes β€” building strategies for focus, problem-solving, and daily routines
βœ”οΈ Older adults maintaining independence at home

At Florence Therapy and Wellness, our OT team meets you where you are and builds a plan around your goals β€” because therapy should fit your life, not the other way around.

πŸ“ Curious if OT could help you or a loved one? Send us a message or call us at (406) 273-4246β€” we'd love to chat.

We now offer Hippotherapy!

So, what exactly is hippotherapy?

It's a specialized therapy approach where physical therapists (PTs) and occupational therapists (OTs) use the natural, rhythmic movement of a horse as a therapeutic tool. The gentle motion of the horse helps improve balance, strength, coordination, posture, and sensory processing β€” all while creating a truly unique and joyful experience for patients.

During hippotherapy sessions, the horse’s natural gait provides sensory input that therapists use to improve:
βœ”οΈ Balance & Postural Control
βœ”οΈ Muscle Strength & Coordination
βœ”οΈ Sensory Processing
βœ”οΈ Motor Function & Mobility
βœ”οΈ Cognitive & Communication Skills

Hippotherapy isn't horseback riding β€” it's purposeful, evidence-based treatment guided by licensed therapists to help patients reach their individual goals. It has been shown to benefit individuals with a wide range of conditions, including Cerebral palsy, Autism, Stroke recovery, Multiple sclerosis, and More. 🌟

We believe healing happens in many forms, and we are so excited to bring this wonderful service to our community!

Ready to learn more or get started? Give us a call at Florence Therapy and Wellness (406) 273-4246 β€” we'd love to talk with you!

Did you know the average person spends 4–6 hours a day looking down at their phone?

This repetitive forward-head posture places significant mechanical stress on the trapezius muscles and cervical spine. As the head tilts downward, the effective weight it places on the neck can increase dramatically β€” from around 12 lbs in a neutral position to 60 lbs at a 60Β° tilt.

The trapezius, one of the primary muscles stabilizing the neck and shoulder girdle, becomes chronically overloaded. This leads to:

β†’ Myofascial tension and trigger points
β†’ Referred pain into the head and shoulders
β†’ Cervicogenic headaches
β†’ Reduced range of motion

At Florence Therapy and Wellness we can guide you through postural adjustments, improve postural strength and help improve your pain. In the meantime, make small changes such as moving your phone position so you're not looking down, take movement breaks and stretch.

FACT OR FICTION: You need pain to make gains? 🚨

FICTION β€” and here's why science disagrees with the old saying.
When pain gets too intense, your nervous system actually shuts your muscles down through a protective mechanism called autogenic inhibition. Less output = fewer gains. Your body isn't toughening up β€” it's pumping the brakes.
Real progress comes from progressive overload in a safe, pain-free range β€” creating the muscle tension and metabolic stress that actually drives growth.
Discomfort is normal. Sharp pain is a warning. Know the difference. πŸ’ͺ
At Florence Therapy and Wellness we can help progress you through your rehab safely and effectively so that you can return to activity with less pain and more gains.
