Gait training and balance programs
Gait training is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to improve your ability to stand, walk, and move independently. It is often recommended for individuals recovering from illnesses or injuries that impact mobility. By addressing strength, balance, and coordination, gait training can help enhance your mobility and overall quality of life, even if you require an adaptive device.
