Gait and Stair Training
At your first appointment, your Physical Therapist will perform a thorough evaluation and develop a personalized rehabilitation treatment program with you that may include Gait and Stair Training.
What is Gait Training?
Gait training is a type of physical therapy that helps people improve their ability to stand and walk. One goal of gait training is preventing falls. Gait training may be recommended after an illness, surgery, or injury or even to help a patient regain independence in walking. Gait training works to strengthen the muscles and joints in the lower body and back. As a result, patients will improve balance, improve posture, develop muscle memory, build endurance, and prepare the legs for repetitive motion. Gait Training also includes stair training, and instruction in the safe use of assistive devices such as canes, crutches, and walkers.
Benefits of Gait Training:
Gait training improves ability to stand, walk and even run by including activities to strengthen muscles and joints, improve posture and balance, build endurance, retrain legs for repetitive motion, and develop muscle memory.
What Is the First Step?
Start By Scheduling an Evaluation Appointment.
Don't Wait - Get Started Right Now!
Clinical research shows that the sooner you get started with active rehabilitation, the less likely you will need unnecessary tests, medications, or surgery.
At your evaluation appointment, you will meet with a physical therapist who will perform a thorough evaluation that includes:
- A review of your health history and your specific symptoms.
- A thorough examination that includes assessing the quality and quantity of your movements, and any factors that might put you at risk for delayed recovery or might indicate a serious health problem.
- Assessment of how you use your body at work, at home, during sports, and at leisure.
- Determination of the diagnosis and impairments that are causing your pain and establishment of a treatment plan of care.

What Our Clients Say
Therapist is caring & friendly. Tech & other staff are too. Feel welcome when you walk in I have been treated at SE Physical Therapy for 3 different joint problems and would easily return to them for the next issue. Each therapist has shown a great competence in treating my issues and helping me to work towards my goals . We have worked on strengthening, balance, pain control and endurance. I enjoy their creativity in the exercises we do and their interest in my condition and treatment. I also enjoy seeing the interns there as part of their education and see how the therapists include them in the daily routine. Thanks to all the staff for what you do. It’s time for SE PT to move to a larger building/space as you seem to be a popular hang out, meaning the business is treating a lot of clients. Even before COVID caused people to practice social distancing, it was crowded. Hopefully this is in the future strategic planning.
