Gait training is a specialized form of physical therapy focused on improving your walking pattern, also known as your “gait.” Whether you’ve experienced an injury, surgery, neurological disorder, or balance issue, our goal is to help you walk more safely, efficiently, and confidently.
At Levan Physical Therapy, we offer individualized gait training programs to address abnormalities in walking caused by conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, joint replacement surgery, fractures, or general weakness.
Our gait rehabilitation therapy helps patients:
Gait training is recommended for individuals who:
Have difficulty walking after surgery or injury
Struggle with balance or unsteadiness
Drag, shuffle, or limp during walking
Have neurological conditions affecting motor control
Experience pain when walking or standing for long
Use mobility aids (walker, cane, crutches) and want to transition off them
Your physical therapist at Levan Physical Therapy will conduct a detailed gait analysis and movement evaluation. Based on your findings, we’ll design a personalized treatment plan that may include:
Treadmill and overground gait practice
Balance and coordination exercises
Leg and core strengthening routines
Step and stride correction
Postural realignment techniques
Functional mobility drills (stairs, turns, slopes)
Neuromuscular reeducation and cueing
Assistive device training (if needed)
We also use visual and verbal feedback, mirrors, and body-weight support systems to improve awareness and gait control.
