gait retraining

Gait retraining is a technique used to improve how a person walks, aiming to correct abnormal movement patterns that can lead to pain or injury. It involves assessing the individual’s walking style and then using various methods—like exercises, feedback, and practice—to encourage a more efficient and balanced gait. This process can help athletes enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury, while also benefiting people with movement disorders or recovering from injuries. Overall, gait retraining promotes better alignment, stability, and foot placement for safer, more effective walking.
