Physical Benefits of Riding a JOBA

Therapeutic riding can be beneficial to almost anyone with any kind of special needs. The most obvious and often the most immediately recognizable benefit is physical. Because riding is a very physical activity children and adults with special physical needs and various physical impairments can benefit from riding. Just like physical and occupational therapy, horseback riding uses movement as a primary means of therapy, however because the act of riding a horse is so unique many people feel that riding, combined with other therapies has a great effect on students because it fills a niche in the therapeutic needs of the individual that other therapies can't. Instructors employ a variety of physical tasks that help improve balance, muscle strength, flexibility, joint movement, and posture. Therapeutic riding can benefit people with many different physical disabilities such as: muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, amputation, paralysis, spina bifida, etc.

Joba Horse Riding Improves Balance and posture

Because horseback riding requires balance and good posture for all riders, students lacking good balance and posture will be working on their balance issues the very moment they mount. The motion of the horse is very similar to the motion created in the human pelvis. The exercise of riding grounds the rider in his or her hips, this connection between horse and rider is a fundamental element in building balance in riders with and without special needs. Instructors often employ various exercises and riding skills that work on balance and posture in multiple ways.

Because therapeutic riding is fundamentally flexible to the student's needs, balance exercises are quite varied. Exercises can range from simply sitting atop the horse, to walking, to trotting. Instructors working on balance and posture with a student may also use exercises such as grabbing rings while riding, riding with arms stretched out, riding with the eyes closed, riding backwards etc. The combination of supporting as well as challenging the rider enables the rider to improve their physical capabilities both on and off their mount.

Joba Machine Excercises Core Muscles and joints

The movement of the horse also requires good muscle tone and flexibility. The most obvious muscle regions that benefit from such exercise are the back, buttocks and legs, as well as the ankles, knees and hips. Riding also effects smaller muscles and joints throughout the body as riding is an activities that requires the participation of the entire body.

Riders with low tone muscle and loose flexibility will work on strengthening and tightening the muscles primarily in the back, neck, buttocks and leg regions. Riders with very high muscle tone work on relaxing the muscle and moving with the gait of the horse. The different gaits of the horse can be utilized to make the student aware of different muscle groups. As the rider learns different riding skills muscle tone and flexibility are increasingly improved. The flexibility of equine assisted therapy enables riders with very different needs to benefit from the same motion while learning the same skills.
