Who we help
For anyone who feels unsteady or worried about falling.
Falls are not a normal part of getting older, and balance can improve at any age. Our program is for adults who have fallen or nearly fallen, feel unsteady on their feet, or want to stay active and independent for longer.
It also helps after illness, surgery or a hospital stay, and for people whose balance has been affected by dizziness or a neurological condition.
After a fall or near-fall
Rebuild strength and confidence, and learn how to get up safely if you do fall.
Changes in walking
Walking more slowly, shuffling, or reaching for furniture and walls to steady yourself.
Staying independent
Keep doing the things you enjoy at home and in the community, safely.
Our clinical protocol
Five steps, built around you.
- Initial screening of your health, medications, past falls, dizziness, vision and home situation
- Standardized functional assessments such as the Berg Balance Scale and Timed Up and Go (TUG), along with strength and walking tests
- Individualized exercise progression for strength, balance, gait retraining and walking, made more challenging as you improve
- Reassessment with the same tests, so you can see your progress in clear numbers
- Home exercise education, with a simple routine and practical tips to make your home safer
In clinic or at home
Care that meets you where you are.
Sessions are one-on-one with your physiotherapist, in our Spruce Grove clinic or in your own home.
Practising in your real surroundings, like your stairs, bathroom or front step, can make the skills you learn easier to use every day.
Common questions
Before you book.
How long does the program last?
It depends on your goals and your assessment results. We recommend a plan after your first visit and review it at each reassessment.
Can I book without a doctor’s note?
Yes. You can book directly with a physiotherapist in Alberta. Some health plans ask for a note before they reimburse.
Is it covered by insurance?
The program is delivered by a physiotherapist and is usually billed as physiotherapy under extended health plans.
Before your first visit
Wear comfortable clothes and supportive shoes, and bring any walking aid you use and a list of your medications.
