Marita Wassman's Company Details
Ride On St. Louis (ROSL) is a comprehensive therapy, conditioning and learning non-profit organization serving adults and children with disabilities, veterans and the at-risk youth. ROSL promotes health and enriches lives through love, joy and holistic healing.\\Our clients come to us with specific needs often on the recommendation of medical professionals and seek to fulfill physical, mental and emotional health objectives. Our center offers programs utilizing the horse's movement as a treatment tool. Our main goal is to make sustaining and substantial quality of life improvements for each individual we serve; this could mean gaining strength to make transfers in or out of wheelchairs, cars, beds, etc., independent or minimal assist, gaining strength to take your first steps, building core and vocal muscles to produce your first words or any physical, cognitive, emotional or spiritual achievements that are important to our clients and our client's families.\\Our programs are designed to reach each client individually to achieve the greatest results. Our approach to equine assisted activities and therapies through customized procedures seeks to improve abilities, bolster the activities of daily living and improve function through a variety of areas such as strength, balance and coordination, respiration, cognitive and social development among other areas. Through a holistic approach we pursue the physical, cognitive, emotional, social and/or spiritual developments and achievements of our clients. The equine gait pattern is within 90 degrees and centimeters of natural human pelvis movement. Because equine movement mirrors human ambulation the body gains strength through its adjustment and response to the horse's gait. Clients experience about 4,500 repetitions during the hour treatment session.
