Gait and Balance

Keep your balance, avoid injury and enjoy your life by engaging in a customized physical therapy program to enhance your body's agility and build confidence in your day-to-day activities. 

Balance therapy helps us keep steady on our feet. We will create a Physical Therapy program that fits your needs to improve your balance, flexibility, and coordination. Our patients are often surprised by how easy our programs are to follow and the reward of gaining back quality of life.

Tinetti Gait and Balance patients can benefit from Physical Therapy. Physical Therapy can help with activities like walking, running, and standing, as well as maintaining balance. Our physical therapists will assess your gait pattern and develop an individualized exercise program to strengthen weak muscles, improve flexibility, and increase coordination. In addition, we also use various treatment tools such as manual therapy techniques or assistive devices.

Physical Therapy can also help with gait and balance deficits caused by conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, or other neurologic disorders. Tinetti Gait and Balance Physical Therapy can safely and effectively improve your quality of life. Our Physical Therapists are trained using the Tinetti Gait and Balance Evaluation tool to help identify areas of deficits and set appropriate goals for improving balance, mobility, and overall quality of life. Physical Therapists can also provide education on fall prevention strategies, home exercise programs, and safe transfer methods. With Physical Therapy, you can improve your gait and balance, reduce your risk of falls, and gain the confidence to remain active.
