Hiking
-
A physical therapist will guide you on a trail that is suited for your ability level and goals. The PT may provide hands-on assistance for balance, and verbal coaching related to walking patterns. You may be encouraged to use hiking poles, an all-terrain walker, or other equipment available, in order to assist with balance. The therapist may carry a portable chair to allow rest breaks. Allow nature to boost your mood and improve your recovery!

Hiking times may vary based on your goals and skills, but are typically 1-2 hours. Hiking may be combined with other activities. For example: hike 20 minutes to a viewpoint, do 20 minutes of yoga or strength training, then hike 20 minutes to return to the starting point. An estimated duration will be agreed upon prior to meeting.

This training typically takes place in an open outdoor area with an uneven grassy surface. Portable chairs may be available for rest breaks as needed.

Common Conditions We Treat
Generalized Weakness
Generalized weakness refers to a decrease in muscle strength. A variety of underlying conditions may contribute to weakness and deconditioning. A strengthening program provides exercises that promote improved functional ability, endurance, and activity tolerance.
Arthritis
Arthritis is a chronic condition that may cause joint inflammation, stiffness, and pain. This may involve a deterioration of cartilage along joint surfaces which can lead to reduced mobility. An exercise program may target strengthening of the muscles that support the joints, and range of motion to restore mobility.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s is a movement disorder that may cause stiffness, slowed movement, balance difficulty, and impaired coordination. Guided balance training and walking may improve quality and confidence of movement, restoring function and reducing the risk of falls.
Strokes
Strokes occur from vascular injuries to the brain, such as a clot or brain bleed, which can impair activation of muscles in the limbs, as well as balance and communication. People with stroke have potential to make progress whether it has been a few months or several years.
Brain Injuries & Concussions
Traumatic brain injuries and concussions occur from external impact or forces. Often this involves swelling or damage to brain tissue, which can result in weakness, impaired balance/coordination, and changes to vision and concentration.
Amputees
People with limb loss and new prosthetic devices may benefit from training to promote balance and confidence with their new artificial limb. Outdoor environments provide variable surfaces for walking practice and potential to transition from the use of a walking aid.
