Who this is for
- Adults 65+ who want to get stronger, steadier and more confident on stairs, curbs and in the shower

- Anyone whose Medicare-covered therapy has ended but who still wants expert guidance
- Active older adults who golf, play pickleball, garden or travel and want to keep doing it

What sessions include
- A full fitness assessment: strength, balance, walking and getting up from the floor and chairs
- Strength training for legs, hips, back and grip, scaled to you
- Balance and stepping practice in your own home
- A simple home program between sessions
- 60 minutes, one-on-one, with the same trainer every time
Strength and balance are worth training at every age
Federal physical activity guidelines recommend that older adults do muscle-strengthening activity on at least two days a week and include balance training. A Cochrane review of more than 100 trials found that exercise programs built around balance and functional training reduce the rate of falls in older adults living at home by about a quarter.
Training with a Doctor of Physical Therapy means your program accounts for old injuries, joint replacements, arthritis and medications that affect balance — and that your trainer recognizes when something needs a doctor’s attention.
