Lower Body Physical Therapy

Comprehensive physical therapy treatment for the lower body

The lower extremity complex is meant to express strength and power, have mobility and control, and execute endurance and stamina in order to move your body across great lengths. We assess your lower body mechanics including single leg balance, walking/running (gait) mechanics, and large compound movements including stairs, squat, lunges to evaluate any dysfunctional movement control and patterns. Our plan of care aims at re-training muscle groups and movement patterns to maximize your lower body’s strength and movement potential and improve your loading strategies to reduce stress along the lower extremity chain.
