Walking challenges are common in Parkinson’s—shuffling steps, freezing episodes, and poor balance can lead to falls. At Gage Physio, we use targeted gait training to help Hamilton patients move more freely.

What Is Gait Training?

Gait training involves:

• • Relearning safe walking patterns

• • Improving stride length and rhythm

• • Enhancing balance and coordination

• • Reducing freezing and fall risk

Our Hamilton-Based Approach

We combine:

• • SAFEx principles developed by Dr. Quincy Almeida

• • Visual and auditory cueing

• • Treadmill and overground walking drills

• • Dual-task training to improve cognitive-motor integration

Why SAFEx Matters

SAFEx exercises focus attention on movement, helping the brain rewire motor pathways. Clinical trials led by Dr. Almeida show improved gait and reduced symptom progression.

Integrated Neurodegenerative Care

Through partnerships with specialists like Dr. Almeida at Lakeside Health and Sport, our patients gain access to:

• • Advanced neuro-assessments

• • Multidisciplinary treatment plans

• • Cutting-edge research and therapies
