ABOUT STRIDE PT
Welcome to Stride Physical Therapy. I’m David Smith, a licensed physical therapist with over 32 years of experience serving the Treasure Valley. I bring skilled, compassionate care to you at home, specializing in home safety and fall prevention. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll build a plan to help you stay independent, and get back to the activities you enjoy.
MY EXPERTISE
FALL PREVENTION
One in four adults 65 years and older experience falls annually. Falls account for more than 95% of hip fractures and the most common cause of traumatic head injury. This does not have to be your story. Many falls are preventable. Do you know where you are vulnerable? I can help focus your energy to build-up what is really the weakest link in your balance portfolio.
PARKINSON'S DISEASE
My first exposure to Parkinson's disease occurred during my internships, where I was part of a team helping physicians titrate medications to quiet tremors. At the time, a missing piece was a treatment to help patients self-regulate their own movement dysfunctions. LSVT BIG has since become the gold standard in this field and serves as a strong adjunct to medication. As an LSVT-certified professional, I can work with you to build your best path forward.

HOME SAFETY EVALUATION
Our home! It is where we live. It is our sanctuary. From designing a full care-giver suite, to a grab bar, I can help you feel secure in your home. If you are considering a move to a higher level of care, I can help you regain the strength you might need to stay in place.
PRE & POST OPERATIONS
Seeking physical therapy can be difficult if you can't get to an out-patient clinic, or do not qualify for Home Health.
I can provide real value to help you continue your journey after surgery or prepare you for surgery in a smart and safe way.
