Struggling with balance or walking can affect your ability to perform everyday tasks and increase your risk of falling. These problems can stem from a variety of causes, including aging, injury, neurological conditions, or surgery. A licensed physical therapist is trained to evaluate the root cause of your walking or balance difficulties and create a customized treatment plan to help restore your stability and mobility.
Physical therapy for balance and walking problems often includes exercises to strengthen muscles, improve coordination, enhance flexibility, and retrain your body to move safely. Your physical therapist may also work with you on posture, proper footwear, and techniques for navigating uneven surfaces or stairs. Using targeted strategies and hands-on guidance, physical therapists can help you build confidence, walk more steadily, and regain independence in your daily life.
