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

I would just like to let everyone know how happy I am since starting treatment at Bristol Neurophysio.  I have noticed a great beneficial change to my condition, ataxia.  It's been such a relief for me to find someone who understands my condition and is able to set up a programme suitable for my abilities.  Kirsty is always upbeat and cheerful and is always a great help.  I come away from my sessions feeling so much better and able to get on with my life!
