Occupational Therapy and Hippotherapy in Sulphur, LA 

Experience Transformative Occupational Therapy at WCCH

The Genesis Therapeutic Riding Center at West Calcasieu Cameron Hospital (WCCH) specializes in innovative occupational therapy through equine-assisted methods. Located at 886 Landry Lane in Sulphur, Louisiana, our center serves Southwest Louisiana (SWLA), including Sulphur, Carlyss, Lake Charles and surrounding areas, with holistic therapies tailored to each individual’s needs. 

Why Choose Hippotherapy? 

Hippotherapy uses the horse's rhythmic and repetitive movements to improve vestibular, neurodevelopmental and motor functions. The horse’s natural gait mirrors human pelvic motion, helping patients develop balance, coordination and strength. At the Therapeutic Riding Center, equine-assisted occupational therapy transforms lives by fostering independence and enhancing overall quality of life.
