Walking Frames – Use Them the Right Way

Many people believe that walking frames always make them safer or help them walk better. But in reality, not everyone who uses a frame actually needs one. If a walking aid is not properly fitted or used without a professional assessment, it can make movement harder instead of easier.

At K 7 Physiotherapy, we see this often — people relying on frames even though they could walk independently with the right physiotherapy support. Using a walking frame without guidance can lead to poor posture, muscle weakness, and loss of confidence.

Our specialist physiotherapists offer individual assessments to understand your mobility, strength, and balance before recommending any walking aid. We only suggest a frame when it is truly needed and ensure it’s adjusted correctly for your comfort and safety.

If you’re already using a walking frame or thinking of getting one, it’s important to have a professional assessment. We’ll help you move safely, improve your balance, and regain independence.
