What is Gait Training?
Gait training is a specialized form of physical therapy designed to help patients improve their walking patterns, reduce the risk of falls, and enhance overall mobility. Whether you are recovering from a serious health event, dealing with balance issues, or seeking to optimize athletic performance, our physical therapy provides advanced gait analysis tailored to your unique needs. By understanding and correcting the way you walk and run, we can minimize joint wear and tear and prevent future pain and complications.
Dr. Almeda’s approach to gait training is rooted in both in-clinic and at-home exercises. She works closely with you to re-learn walking skills through targeted interventions, ensuring you achieve safer and more effective movement. This is especially important for patients recovering from vestibular disorders, as regaining balance and overcoming vertigo are essential steps toward returning to the activities you love.

Dr. Almeda uses advanced technology and proven methods to identify movement inefficiencies and recommend personalized strategies for improvement. By focusing on proper biomechanics, she helps athletes and active individuals achieve their goals safely and effectively.
Gait Training for Seniors
For seniors, our specialized geriatric rehabilitation services offer targeted therapies to address age-related conditions, surgeries, and chronic diseases. Gait training for geriatric patients is instrumental in maintaining independence, managing osteoporosis and osteoarthritis symptoms, and preventing falls.

Fall prevention techniques and ongoing gait analysis are integrated into our geriatric rehab programs to help safeguard long-term mobility and comfort.
Gait training is also highly beneficial for individuals with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or stroke, as it helps restore coordination, improve muscle control, and support a safer return to daily activities.
Learning to walk properly again is vital for preventing further pain and complications. Dr. Almeda provides compassionate support, expert guidance, and advanced technology to help you regain your balance, overcome vertigo, and return to the activities you enjoy.
