Issues with walking, balance, and movement coordination are frequently associated with more specific conditions, such as arthritis, degenerative disorders, and movement impairments. Patients experiencing conditions that affect the joints and or muscles often experience issues with falls and difficulty in moving. This can cause limitations with tasks such as getting up from a chair, walking in the home of community, stair negotiation, and overall safety awareness.
Physical therapy can provide an individual with the tools and education to help improve the mobility of their joints, their overall strength, and their safety with movement.
