Movement and balance
Movement and balance exercises are simple movements, seated or standing at a chair, that you practice here and at home.
They are for adults who want to keep moving in their own day: getting up from a chair, reaching a shelf, walking to the mailbox. The doctor shows each movement slowly and watches you try it.
What a visit includes
Start seated
Every movement has a seated version, and a chair is always within reach.
One movement at a time
The doctor shows it slowly, then watches you try it and adjusts it to you.
A short list for home
You leave with two or three movements in large print, not a long program.
Check-ins
At later visits the doctor asks how the movements went and changes them if needed.
How long, how often, and what we do not claim
How long and how often
The doctor sets the plan after the exam and changes it as you go. We do not promise a number of visits.
What we do not claim
That exercises prevent falls or injuries
That the movements work the same for everyone
That they replace care from your medical doctor
How it is paid
Medicare covers manual spinal manipulation only, so it does not cover exercise instruction. We tell you the cost before it begins.

Questions about this care
Do I need to be able to stand?
No. Every movement has a seated version.
Should I check with my medical doctor first?
If your medical doctor has told you to limit activity, tell us at your first visit, and we will follow that advice.
