Gait and Balance Therapy

Maintaining independence with walking, avoiding falls or losses of balance, and negotiating community obstacles is the primary goal of many patients in rehabilitation. Gait and Balance Disorders can be the result of orthopedic injuries, trauma, neurological conditions, or simply the result of aging.  At Physical Therapy & Hand Centers, we can help patients with any of these conditions. Our physical therapists will evaluate the source of the gait/balance problem and develop a strategic program to address the deficits that may be present. Gait and Balance Training takes repetition and guidance. Our physical therapists are highly skilled at providing such services. Our goal is to assist patients in meeting their goals.
