Our multidisciplinary team brings together a complementary group of professionals with expertise across diverse fields such as occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech & language therapy, rehabilitation support, mental health, social work, adaptive riding, experiential learning, and more. By combining our unique perspectives and skills, we collaborate to deliver holistic, effective solutions that support the individuals and communities we serve.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapists are uniquely qualified to assist clients with functional limitations because of their skills, knowledge and competencies across physical, cognitive and emotional domains.

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is a type of medical treatment that helps people improve their movement and physical function, often after an injury, illness, or disability. It involves using various techniques like exercise, manual therapy, and education to help people manage pain, recover from injuries, and improve their overall physical well-being.  ​​

Speech & Language Therapy

Speech and Language Therapy helps people with a variety of communication or swallowing challenges. It's like physical therapy, but for talking, understanding, and eating. 

Mental Health Services

Our certified and specially trained clinicians offer mental health services approaching relationship dynamics with a trauma informed lens and an understanding of attachment, to help clients shift out of survival mode into greater safety, security, and functionality. ​We offer innovative approaches, including animal-assisted therapy, to support meaningful change when traditional talk therapy isn’t enough.

Adaptive Horseback Riding

Our adaptive riding sessions, facilitated by our CanTRA certified Therapeutic Riding Instructors, are adapted to each individual's needs, abilities, and style of learning. Lessons focus on learning riding skills and sequencing of tasks, and provide access to meaningful recreation and sport. ​​

Workshops

We offer a variety of workshops, seminars, and clinics at Stable Connections including the Low Arousal Approach Training, Occupational Therapy workshops, and CanTRA educational, mentor, and updating clinics. See our Upcoming Events page for dates of upcoming clinics. ​

More Information on Our Therapy Services

A typical Occupational, Physical, or Speech Therapy session can be an office based appointment at our Downtown Clinic, or at The Ranch in our onsite treatment room, or in the natural environment of the barn. Your therapy session could also take place at The Ranch on the back of a horse. These therapy sessions with the horses do not teach riding skills; rather the goals are geared towards independence with activities of daily living and increased participation in family, school, and community life.

Early Intervention
Early intervention in Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy is crucial for promoting faster recovery, preventing complications, and maximizing long-term outcomes for individuals of all ages. By addressing issues promptly, these therapies can significantly improve physical and mental well-being, enhance independence, and potentially reduce long-term healthcare costs. 

Intensive Therapy
The Intensive Therapy Model is a rapidly growing medical treatment for children living with neurological and genetic disorders. Research has shown strong evidence for intensive therapy improving function and plasticity.

Weekly Therapy
Weekly Therapy is common in Occupational, Physical and Speech-Language therapy services. It allows for consistent support, establishes a strong therapeutic relationship, and enables therapists to effectively address the client's needs and progress. Weekly sessions provide a predictable schedule, facilitate continuity in treatment so there is no need for lengthy reporting on events between therapy sessions, and allow for ongoing adjustments to the intervention plan. 

​Weekly Physical, Occupational, or Speech-Language Therapy sessions are common and can be tailored to individual needs, typically lasting 30-60 minutes. The frequency can vary, with some individuals attending 1-2 times per week, while others may have sessions every other week, depending on their specific goals and the therapist's recommendations.
