Walking Aid Assessments – Walk Safer with K 7 Physiotherapy

Is Your Walking Aid the Right Height?

A stick or walking frame that’s too high or too low can increase your risk of falling. At K 7 Physiotherapy, we offer professional walking aid assessments to help you stay safe and mobile.

Why Height Matters

Using a stick or frame that’s the wrong height can cause:

• Forward falls if it’s too low

• Backward instability if it’s too high

• Poor posture and added strain on joints

• Reduced confidence when walking

The correct height is when the top of the stick or frame lines up with your wrist crease when you’re standing upright with your arms relaxed (while wearing your usual shoes).

What We Do

Our experienced physiotherapists will:

• Measure your walking aid to fit your body

• Adjust or recommend alternatives if needed

• Train you on safe and confident use
