Gait and balance refer to how a person walks and maintains their stability while moving or standing. At Northern Physical Therapy, we provide gait and balance physical therapy to address issues to help improve mobility and reduce the risk of injury.

Gait and balance issues are problems that affect a person’s ability to walk steadily or maintain equilibrium while standing or moving. These issues can range from mild unsteadiness to severe mobility impairments. Gait disorders involve abnormalities in walking patterns, while balance problems relate to difficulties in maintaining stability. Both can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, independence, and safety.

Our NPT Physical Therapist will assess your strengths and weaknesses and form a comprehensive plan to mitigate any balance issues and provide you with a  education and tools to enhance your gait pattern to reduce the risk of falling or other balance issues.
