Therapy and Wellness – Folsom

Get back in the saddle

Now offering world-class rehabilitation services close to home in Folsom

  

New Heights Therapeutic Riding Center

 

Sometimes, one size doesn’t fit all. That’s why St. Tammany Health System’s Therapy and Wellness Center in Folsom is a horse of a different color.


In addition to offering physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy for adult and pediatric patients, our Folsom site shares a location with New Heights Therapeutic Riding Center, a 501(c)3 charity that provides fully accessible equine-assisted riding activities and therapies.


That means, in addition to offering the full range of traditional services, our multidisciplinary team – through our partnership with New Heights – is also equipped to address the needs of patients of all abilities, including those with:  

    • Autism
    • Down syndrome
    • Developmental delays
    • ADD or other hyperactive disorders
    • Head trauma/brain injury

So, whatever your situation, come pay us a visit. Let us help you get back in the saddle again – all right here, close to home in Folsom.


My daughter has been riding at New Heights for several years now. She has (cerebral palsy) and uses a walker to get around. Her weekly sessions have helped her develop core muscles and establish better trunk control, which in turn is giving her the confidence to try new things like transitioning to forearm crutches. Riding a horse is like being on top of the world!"

~ Mother of Ruthie, a 9-year-old New Heights patient


Riding high

As part of its suite of full-service of physical therapy offerings, St. Tammany Health System has teamed with the New Heights Equestrian Therapeutic Riding Center in Folsom, where patients can benefit from hippotherapy, or therapeutic horseback riding, in addition to traditional physical therapy treatments.


We've got you covered.

Our outpatient facilities benefit from a wealth of resources that come along with being part of the St. Tammany Health System family. A closer look:
