FLEX FARM IS HERE!

We are excited to share Flex Physical Therapy is expanding services to provide equine-assisted physical therapy (hippotherapy) at Topfield Equestrian Center. Our newest location, lovingly referred to as “Flex Farm” offers horse riding and grooming activities facilitated by a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Hippotherapy uses intentional horse movement as a tool to engage the neuromotor, sensory, musculoskeletal and cognitive systems to promote increased function.

This unique and impactful practice is quite limited in NYS and the USA, yet the benefits are plentiful:

improve balance, coordination, strength, endurance

develop confidence & mastery

regulate sensory system & stimulation

Dr. Lauralee Johnson, PT, DPT, Doctor of Physical Therapy & Flex Cold Spring Clinical Director is accepting children & adults for this epic experience. It is not uncommon for people to travel for this service. We welcome patients from near and far! No riding experience needed – sessions available on and off the horse.
