Know your Body – Hippotherapy

"Know Your Body" is a health program that places an emphasis on the social dimensions of mental, physical, collective health, with an emphasis on prevention. Today's program begins with the "Do It At Home" segment, which shows us how to plant the highly nutritious wild radish in a shallow pot. Then the "Personal Trainer" section offers an exercise for strengthening the back muscles. Finally, the "Central Report" discusses hippotherapy and the ways in which health professionals use horses in the physical and psychological rehabilitation of their patients. Beneficial effects of this complementary therapy include heat transmission, muscular relaxation, and improved muscle tone. teleSUR
