Physical Therapists at Advance Therapy use various techniques when training someone how to walk again. Manual assistance is often provided along the way, and physical therapists might help support your weight or use various devices to assist your training while strengthening muscles that help you walk. Overall, they will be able to give your professional advice on how to build strength and track your progress to recovery while learning to walk independently again.
Our physical therapists provide personal care and will be able to establish a plan for your recovery based on your current condition(s), ability, and overall strength. With this, the length of your treatment plan will vary depending on how quickly you progress. Your recovery plan might include regular use of the treadmill, various walking exercises with weights, and other stretches/exercises to help retrain your muscles. Use of the facility’s therapeutic pool would also be available to assist in stepping, standing, and lifting of legs without putting your full body weight on your joints/muscles.
