Gait and Stair Training
At your first appointment, your Physical Therapist will perform a thorough evaluation and develop a personalized rehabilitation treatment program with you that may include Gait and Stair Training.
What is Gait Training?
Gait training is a type of physical therapy that helps people improve their ability to stand and walk. One goal of gait training is preventing falls. Gait training may be recommended after an illness, surgery, or injury or even to help a patient regain independence in walking. Gait training works to strengthen the muscles and joints in the lower body and back. As a result, patients will improve balance, improve posture, develop muscle memory, build endurance, and prepare the legs for repetitive motion. Gait Training also includes stair training, and instruction in the safe use of assistive devices such as canes, crutches, and walkers.
Benefits of Gait Training:
Gait training improves ability to stand, walk and even run by including activities to strengthen muscles and joints, improve posture and balance, build endurance, retrain legs for repetitive motion, and develop muscle memory.

I have been a patient here off and on for several years now, and I cannot speak highly enough about the incredible staff and the comprehensive care they provide. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism. Every therapist I worked with was knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in my recovery. They listen carefully to my concerns, adapt my treatment plan as I progress, and explain each step of the process in a way that makes me feel empowered and informed. The team’s dedication to personalized care is evident in every session. They push me just the right amount, always mindful of my limitations while encouraging me to exceed what I think is possible. Their positive energy and constant support make every visit not just productive, but also enjoyable. What truly sets this facility apart is the wellness program they offer after completing therapy. This program has been a game-changer for me, allowing me to continue my progress and maintain the strength and mobility I’ve gained. It’s designed to help bridge the gap between therapy and independent activity, ensuring long-term success. The same staff that guided me through therapy has been there to support me during this next phase, offering personalized workouts and wellness advice tailored to my needs. Thanks to the combined effort of the physical therapy and wellness programs, I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident than ever. The staff truly goes above and beyond, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of rehabilitation and ongoing wellness support. I have used low country physical therapy for over 20 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Their staff is professional and caring. Best at the beach
