Equine therapy helps my MS
 |
| Here I am during a recent hippotherapy session |
I thought I'd share a picture of me doing equine therapy for my MS (see related article). This is the most awesome journey I've had yet with this disease!! I can't say enough about the care team therapists I am working with along with their wonderful equines.
I am absolutely loving the challenge and changes I am seeing. For about 24 to 48 hours after my sessions I feel as if I can walk like a 20 year old again (no muscle stiffness, no foot drops, no staggering or stumbling). It’s just amazing.
After hippotherapy I’m ready to go dancing. I’m not scared of the stairs. I don’t think about it, I just move. In the kitchen, turning, lifting, getting a pot, the confidence is there that I’m not going to tip over and fall.
Hippotherapy always puts a smile on my face and makes me feel wonderful! Its just wonderful to see my MS monster shudder at the thought of my therapy days with this organization. Everyone with MS should really consider this kind of therapy! Its changing things for the positive!
