WHY GAIT ASSESSMENT MATTERS
Meet Hunter, a professional photographer who spends hours standing, walking, crouching, and carrying gear — day in, day out.
When Hunter came to us, she was dealing with hip tightness and lower back pain that kept creeping up after long shoots.
A gait assessment with our physical therapist revealed subtle imbalances in how she moved — things that added up to fatigue, pain, and inefficient movement.
Here’s what gait assessment can help with:
o Identifying imbalances or asymmetries
o Improving posture and alignment
o Reducing foot, knee, hip, and back pain
o Preventing overuse injuries
Whether you’re a photographer, nurse, teacher, or anyone who lives life on their feet — how you walk matters.
Your movement is essential. Let’s make sure it’s strong and supported. 💪
