Looking for ways to find relief for your balance or gait disorder? Let's explore some practical solutions together!

Our approach comprises a range of therapeutic techniques that target specific aspects of balance and gait disorders. We begin by conducting a thorough assessment to determine the root cause of your condition and identify the areas that require attention. Based on the diagnosis, we create a tailor-made plan that includes gait retraining exercises, stretches, vestibular rehabilitation exercises, and strengthening the muscles.

  • Gait retraining exercises are critical to help you walk better and avoid falls. We work on improving your posture, stride length, and speed by simulating real-life activities like walking on uneven surfaces and navigating obstacles.

  • Stretches are vital to improve balance, and our therapists focus on stretching the muscles and joints that support your balance system.

  • Vestibular rehabilitation exercises aim to retrain the brain to adapt to environmental changes, allowing you to maintain steady movement even in challenging circumstances.

  • Strengthening exercises, such as leg lifts and squats, are designed to enhance core muscle strength and stability.
