Find Your Balance – with Team Trinity!
Balance & Gait Disorders
Home >
At Trinity Rehab & Wellness, we recognize that balance and gait disorders can severely impact your physical and mental well-being. Our multidisciplinary team, including physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and acupuncturists, work together to address these issues, providing personalized treatment plans to improve balance and mobility.
Whether you’re experiencing joint pain in your hips, knees, or other areas, or finding yourself needing to reach for support while walking, these are signs of imbalances or gait disorders often caused by musculoskeletal or neurological conditions.
How does Team Trinity help with gait disorders?
We start by performing a comprehensive assessment of your balance, gait, posture, and medical history to create a tailored treatment plan. This plan may include:
- Vestibular rehabilitation: This involves exercises that target the vestibular system to improve balance. For conditions like BPPV, we offer specific maneuvers to help reposition fluid particles in your ear.
- Gait retraining exercises: These exercises correct improper walking patterns by teaching you the correct techniques to regain a natural gait.
- Strengthening exercises: Our team will help you strengthen weak muscles, enhancing mobility and reducing the risk of further imbalance.
- Stretching routines: Stretching helps improve flexibility and mobility, giving you better control of your movements while reducing stiffness and the risk of injury.
Differences between balance and gait disorders:
- Balance disorders involve disruptions in your brain's perception of movement and joint proprioception, impacting your ability to stay upright.
- Gait disorders affect your walking or running patterns and tend to worsen with age, increasing the risk of falls.
What causes balance or gait disorders?
Imbalances can result from issues with the vestibular system, muscle weakness, or injuries that affect the brain and nervous system. Anxiety and stress can also contribute to balance difficulties, further complicating normal movement.
At Trinity Rehab & Wellness, we treat balance and gait disorders holistically, helping you regain stability and confidence in your movements with the expertise of our physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, and acupuncturists.
