Therapeutic walking is a rehabilitation technique that involves walking exercises designed to improve gait, balance, and strength. It is commonly used in individuals recovering from injuries, surgeries, or neurological conditions that affect mobility. Therapeutic walking focuses on restoring proper walking patterns, strengthening muscles, and improving cardiovascular fitness.

The therapy may include walking on different surfaces, walking with assistive devices, or performing exercises to improve joint mobility and muscle strength. Therapists monitor the patient’s gait and provide guidance on improving posture, balance, and walking efficiency.

Therapeutic walking is essential for restoring independent mobility, improving balance, and reducing the risk of falls in individuals with mobility impairments.
