Walking should be easy, but when things go awry with our steps, it can throw life off balance. That's where physical therapy (PT) steps in, and when paired with the SoloStep support harness, the road to recovery becomes a lot smoother. Let's break it down.
Gait Patterns 101: Gait is how we walk, but sometimes it gets wonky due to injuries or other issues. Whether it's limping, swaying, or shuffling, different problems call for different solutions.
Physical Therapy Magic: PT is like the hero in this story. Therapists figure out what's causing the walking hiccups, then create a plan to fix it. It involves exercises, stretches, and lots of encouragement to get your walk back to normal.
