In some cases, difficulty walking may only be temporary. If you suffered a recent illness or injury, your difficulty walking might disappear as you recover. But sometimes you might continue to have trouble walking for several months or years.
If you're having trouble walking because of a medical condition, you may recover with medical treatment. But if you're still struggling, your doctor may recommend physical therapy.
At Results Physical Therapy, a qualified physical therapist performs tests to check your balance and gain. Your physical therapist asks about your medical history and discusses your treatment goals. Finally, your physical therapist helps you develop a personalized treatment plan.
Physical therapy often involves a combination of exercises and other therapeutic techniques. These techniques increase your strength and flexibility. Over time, your physical therapist helps you improve your mobility and balance, so you feel steadier on your feet.
If you’re having trouble walking, you may feel frightened or discouraged. But physical therapy can help you regain your confidence and improve your strength. To learn more, call Results Physical Therapy today, or book an appointment online.
