Services
Strength and walking
Care for people whose legs have grown tired: stairs that need a rest at every landing, a chair that is hard to rise from, walks that have shortened. A physical therapist builds strength and stamina around what you want to do again.
Is this for you?
This care is for you if
Stairs have turned into a rest stop at every landing
Standing up from a chair takes two tries
Your walks around the block have grown shorter
You are weaker since an illness or a hospital stay
A visit
What a visit looks like
- 01
Step 1: We ask about your week
The stairs you climb, the walks you take, the things you have given up. We start from what matters to you.
- 02
Step 2: We find out what your legs can do
Standing up from a chair, walking a short way, stepping up onto a low block. Nothing you cannot do.
- 03
Step 3: We build a plan you can repeat
A few exercises for home, written large, and a walking plan that grows a little at a time.
In practice
What we do
Leg and hip strength
Standing up, sitting down, stepping up and reaching, with bands, light weights and your own body weight.
Walking practice
Longer walks with rests built in, indoors first and then outdoors, with your cane or walker if you use one.
Stairs and curbs
Going up and down, with a rail, one step at a time, until the landing is not the finish line.
Stamina
Building up a little at a time, with a rest whenever you want one.
Canes and walkers
Fitted to your height, checked for wear and practiced with on the floors you really walk on.
What decides how many visits
It depends on where your strength is now, how much you can practice at home, how your body responds and what your plan covers. We review the plan with you as we go, and we tell you when we think you can carry on without a therapist.

How it is paid for
Medicare Part B and many other plans can help pay for outpatient physical therapy when it is needed. The front desk checks your coverage and calls you before your first visit.
When to see a doctor first
Tell your doctor about chest pain, trouble breathing, new swelling in a leg or a sudden change in how you feel before you start exercising more. For an emergency, call 911.
Questions about this care
Do I need a doctor’s order?
In Iowa, you can start without a referral. Your plan may still ask for one. Call us and we will check yours.
I get tired quickly. Is that a problem?
It is a reason to come. We build in rests and raise the effort slowly, and we ask how you feel after each visit.
Do I need equipment at home?
No. We give you exercises that use a chair, a wall and, if you like, a stretchy band we show you how to use.
