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

Kirsty provided our son with both the physical treatment and exercises he required as well as effective strategies for understanding the psychological impact of his condition. Bristol Neurophysio has played a significant role in allowing our son to get on with his life again. For this we thank them
