Mobility and Gait Rehabilitation in Stockport and Surrounding Areas

Understanding Mobility and Gait Challenges

Mobility issues and abnormal gait patterns can arise from various conditions, leading to challenges such as:

  • Unsteady Walking: Difficulty in maintaining balance while walking, increasing the risk of falls.
  • Painful Movement: Misalignment or weakness in the legs and feet can cause discomfort and pain during movement.
  • Increased Risk of Falls: An irregular gait can make it harder to respond quickly to trips or slips, increasing the risk of falls.

These issues can impact a person’s confidence, independence, and quality of life. At SK Home Therapy, we offer personalised rehabilitation to address these mobility challenges, helping clients regain strength, stability, and confidence in their movement.

Key Areas of Focus

Improving Walking Patterns: We work with clients to assess and correct gait issues, incorporating exercises that enhance coordination, promote correct foot placement, and create a smoother walking pattern.

Building Leg Strength: Strong legs are essential for a stable gait. We focus on strengthening exercises that support muscles in the legs, reducing strain on joints and making each step feel more secure.

Retraining Balance and Stability: Balance is crucial for safe movement. We incorporate balance-focused exercises that help clients feel more grounded, significantly reducing the risk of falls.

Promoting Correct Posture: Proper posture supports an even gait and reduces strain on the body. Our sessions include techniques to align the body correctly, helping clients move with greater ease and confidence.

Addressing Specific Movement Challenges: Each person’s mobility needs are unique, so we focus on addressing specific challenges that clients face, whether it’s navigating stairs, standing up from a seated position, or walking longer distances.
