Treatment Approach
- Functional walking assessment
- Mobility strategy review
- Strength and balance prescription
- Outcome tracking
Your First Session
You'll be guided through a structured walking and mobility assessment over video — filmed from a distance that captures your full gait, plus any mobility aid you currently use. Combined with your history (recent surgery, a fall, or gradual change in confidence), this identifies exactly which part of the walking pattern needs attention, and whether the current aid or support is still right for you.
Conditions Treated
Walking changes after surgery
Falls risk
Balance confidence issues
Mobility aid review
Reduced walking tolerance
What Progress Looks Like
Most people notice improved walking confidence and reduced hesitation on stairs or uneven ground within 3-4 weeks of targeted strength and balance work. Where a mobility aid review is part of the plan, that adjustment often has an immediate, noticeable effect — the exercise programme is what sustains the improvement afterward.
When In-Person Care Is a Better Fit
A recent fall with injury, sudden new weakness, or acute pain affecting walking needs urgent in-person medical assessment first. Formal falls-risk tools that require hands-on testing (or a home hazard assessment) are best done by an in-person team; online assessment focuses on the movement and strength side, which is often the larger and most modifiable factor.
Common Questions
Do you assess falls risk?
Yes, falls risk and balance are core parts of the assessment when needed.
Can this help after joint replacement?
Yes, gait retraining is a common element of post-operative recovery.
Do I need a mobility aid to be assessed?
No — this is equally useful for reviewing whether an aid you already have is still appropriate, or whether you're ready to walk with less support.
How is a walking assessment done over video?
You'll position your device so your full stride is visible and walk a short, safe distance indoors while being observed and guided — most homes have enough space for this.
