Movement Term of the Week: GAIT
Your gait is simply how you walk — but it tells us so much more than you think.
Your walking pattern can reveal:
✔ Strength imbalances
✔ Pain or stiffness
✔ Balance issues
✔ Posture and alignment problems
Small changes in your gait can lead to fatigue, discomfort, and even injury over time.
The good news?
Physical Therapy can assess your gait and help you walk more efficiently, comfortably, and confidently.
If you’ve noticed limping, uneven steps, or discomfort while walking, we’re here to help.
👉 Send us a message to schedule your gait assessment.

Acute Pain vs Chronic Pain — what’s the difference?
Pain isn’t one-size-fits-all. The kind of pain you’re experiencing plays a big role in how we treat it.
▪️ Acute Pain
Comes on suddenly—often from an injury, inflammation, or surgery. It’s your body’s alarm system and usually improves with proper care.

▪️ Chronic Pain
Lasts longer than 3 months and may continue even after tissues have healed. It can affect movement, sleep, and daily life.
The good news?
Whether your pain is new or long-standing, you don’t have to live with it. Physical therapy helps reduce pain, restore movement, and improve your quality of life.
If you’re unsure which type of pain you’re dealing with, we’re here to help.

PT Language 101: MOBILITY
Mobility isn’t just for athletes—it’s for everyone who sits, stands, walks, lifts, reaches, and lives.

When your joints move well, everyday tasks feel easier, pain decreases, and your body functions the way it’s designed to.

Small steps count:
✅ Move more
✅ Stretch regularly
✅ Control your motion

Want better mobility? We can help you move with confidence and comfort.

Redcord in Action!

Here at the clinic, we love using tools that help our patients move better, feel stronger, and recover safely — and Redcord is one of our favorites.

In this photo, one of our patients is working through a suspension-based exercise designed to improve core stability, reduce pain, and restore functional movement. The Redcord system allows us to adjust support and challenge levels so every session meets the patient exactly where they are.

Whether you’re healing from an injury, gaining strength, or working on balance and coordination, Redcord offers a gentle but powerful way to retrain the body.

Functional. Controlled. Effective.
And always guided by skilled hands.

If you’re curious about how Redcord can be part of your rehab journey, send us a message — we’re here to help you move with confidence again.
