Ranch U Butonků

Clients of Alzheimer Home Pitkovice visited "Ranch U Butonků" . Clients had the opportunity to pet horses, shave, dress up in cowboy gear and as icing on the cake rode in the corral under the supervision of professional staff. All clients were thrilled with the trip. The program included roasting sausages on the fire. Other residents of the ranch were cats and goats. The clients did not miss the opportunity to pet them. Many thanks to the horses Stand, Save, Numir and Eliska for their great patience and especially to the owner who made this experience possible.

Hippotherapy is a form of physiotherapy that uses the complex therapeutic action of the horse. Hipporehabilitation is the parent term, which, in addition to hippotherapy, also includes educational and psychological riding. The movement of the horse's back stimulates the central nervous system, improves coordination of movements, stability, and increases overall mobility. Stiff muscles are relaxed, respiratory muscles are stimulated (asthma treatment).

Its action also develops speech therapy and communication skills, because when riding a horse, the movement is rhythmized and coordinated, the diaphragm is relaxed, which is massaged by the internal organs and muscles of the torso.
