It Starts with One Step

One step, then another. That’s how gait training began for me.

And what is gait training? The term refers to helping a patient relearn to walk safely and efficiently, and is usually done with a physical therapist (or rehabilitation specialist) who evaluates the abnormalities in the person’s gait (walking). Treatments such as strengthening and balance training serve to improve stability and body perception as these pertain to the patient’s environment.
