Going up and down stairs with a walker after surgery can seem daunting. We've put together a simple how-to that you can use to help manage the stairs safely.

Going Up ⬆️
1. Place your walker sideways with the opening towards you. Firmly grasp the stair rail with one hand and your walker with the other.
2. The walker's legs should be against the stair riser with all 4 legs in contact with the stairs. Step up with the non-surgical leg and follow with the surgical leg until both are on the same step

Going Down ⬇️
Repeat Step 1 of walking upstairs, then step down with the surgical leg and follow with the non-surgical leg.

It's important not to attempt stairs until released by your surgeon. If you need pre or post-surgical care, we're here to help.

Always learning and growing! Last weekend, our physical therapists and physical therapist assistants attended a continuing education course to stay on top of the latest research, techniques, and treatment strategies. The more WE know, the better we can treat our patients! The course, Certification of Applied Functional Science, focused on all things movement. So, not only did we learn a lot, we had fun moving and shaking!

If you want to have fun in the clinic while improving your function, please give us a call today at 855-722-8478.
