What we do

Strides is a private paediatric interdisciplinary clinic, specialising in the use of equine movement.
We provide occupational therapy and speech & language therapy to children from 12 months old with a variety of diagnoses such as Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Chromosomal Abnormalities, Abnormal Muscle Tone and many more. Our highly skilled therapists help children to reach functional goals in a range of areas such as sensory processing, motor skills, social skills, expressive/receptive language skills, the list goes on!
We are different from other therapy clinics because we are specially trained in the use of hippotherapy (equine movement) as a treatment strategy. That means that we can use the movement of the horse to help our clients to reach their goals. So, if it’s appropriate, we can use the movement of the horse, in conjunction with other treatment strategies, to reach functional outcomes in a number of areas including core control, postural stability, motor coordination, sensory integration, communication and attention skills.
Strides Therapy Clinic is the first clinic of its kind in Ireland and is home to the only Board Certified Hippotherapy Clinical Specialist in the country.
