Hypotonia

Here's an article about baby and toddler hypotonia. Hippotherapy is great for increasing muscle tone, especially if the horse has jerky movements. The therapist can do lots of stop and go sequences (half halts),  change speeds and walk over poles to create different movement experiences that might increase tone.
