Gait training is a type of physical therapy that helps people learn or relearn how to walk safely and effectively. It focuses on improving the way you move your legs, balance your body, and take steps. If you’ve had an injury, surgery, stroke, or neurological condition, gait training can help you walk more confidently and reduce the risk of falling.
At our center, we provide personalized gait training programs designed to help people of all ages walk better, feel stronger, and move more freely.
"Gait" simply means how you walk—your posture, step pattern, foot placement, and balance. A normal gait lets you move smoothly and safely. But injury, weakness, or a medical condition can affect your gait, making walking difficult, uneven, or unsafe.
Gait training is helpful for people who have:
Had a stroke or brain injury
Been in an accident or fall
Suffered from fractures or joint surgery (like hip/knee replacement)
Neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, or multiple sclerosis
Muscle weakness due to aging, long hospital stay, or illness
Amputation or prosthetic limb fitting
Trouble with balance, coordination, or posture
Even children with developmental delays may benefit from early gait training.
The main purpose of gait training is to:
Improve balance and coordination
Correct walking patterns (step length, posture, foot placement)
Strengthen leg muscles and core stability
Increase walking speed and endurance
Build confidence and reduce risk of falling
Help with using assistive devices (walkers, crutches, canes)
We begin with a full analysis of how you walk—looking at step patterns, balance, muscle strength, and flexibility. This helps us identify the problem areas.
We use a series of exercises and techniques to improve movement:
Leg and hip strengthening
Weight shifting and balance drills
Step training (sideways, forward, backward)
Stair climbing and obstacle navigation
Mirror and video feedback for visual learning
We teach you how to safely use walkers, canes, crutches, or orthotic supports if needed.
In some cases, we use body-weight support treadmills or balance boards for advanced gait rehabilitation.
We teach simple home exercises and educate caregivers on how to support your progress.
