In Switzerland, Hippotherapy-K® is applied for central neurological disorders in the brain and spine. It is acknowledged and paid for by health insurances in the case of Multiple Sclerosis. Riding the horse loosens spasms in the legs and reduces coordination disorders while sitting. The movements and rhythm of the horse are optimally used. Hippotherapy-K® („K“ stands for its Swiss founder, Ursula Künzle) is an acknowledged medical method in which the threedimensional gait of the horse is transferred to the patient. This trains the muscles that sustain the torso, stabilises the spine and supports balancing abilities. The joints of the pelvis and spine are mobilised in an optimal way.
