The STEADY Program
Safe · Trusted · Empowering · Active · inDependent · You — the program built for your loved one.
STEADY is our flagship program — an evidence-based, progressive, one-on-one training program built specifically for older adults. It combines physical training, cognitive dual-task work, home-environment safety, and lifestyle coaching into a single 8-week arc that builds real-world balance skills for your loved one.
Session length: Sessions are 30 to 45 minutes long — enough time to do the focused work without fatiguing an older adult, and short enough to fit comfortably into the week.

How it works
Comprehensive Assessment
Medical history, medications, gait and balance testing, and fall-risk factor review.
Personalized Plan
A plan tailored to your risks, your goals, and the activities you want to return to.
Progressive Training
Twice-weekly one-on-one sessions over 8 weeks. Exercises evolve as you do.
Home Safety Inspection
Our ECHM-certified occupational therapist inspects your home — where greater than 50% of falls happen — and recommends independent contractors to fix what she finds.
Homework & Habits
Homework is assigned after every session to improve awareness of fall risks and reinforce balance skills — small daily habits that carry the studio work into everyday life.
Progress Tracking
Measurable gains in strength, gait, and confidence — shared with your physician on request.
Why it works
The evidence is clear. Dual-task training, single-leg work, and functional strength — done consistently and progressively — dramatically reduce fall risk in older adults. Research has shown 43% reductions in fall risk from single-leg training alone, and even larger effects when balance is combined with cognitive challenge.
What makes STEADY different is that it's yours. One coach, one plan, one focus: you.
Skill Maintenance — after STEADY
Balance naturally declines with aging. Muscle mass, reaction time, proprioception, and vision all change year over year — and the gains your loved one makes in STEADY need reinforcement to last. That's why we offer ongoing Skill Maintenance after graduation.
Skill Maintenance sessions keep balance skills sharp, progressively challenge your loved one as their body changes, and catch new risk factors early — before they lead to a fall. Most graduates continue with one session per week, tailored to their goals and season of life. It is an evidence-based way to preserve the gains STEADY builds.
Think of STEADY as the training arc, and Skill Maintenance as the practice that keeps it. Confidence doesn't stay by accident.
