Plate VII
Older adults & balance
Steady programme for over-60s
A 45-minute assessment and three follow-ups over six weeks with Karolina: mobility, strength and balance, £220.
Within the week; home visits Tuesday and Thursday
Plate VII, fig. 1The plate
What it is, in plain words.
The Steady programme is for stiff mornings, worn hips and knees and the fear of falling. Four visits over six weeks: hands-on treatment for the stiff bits, a chair-based and standing exercise plan that gets a little harder each visit, a balance test at the start and end, and a plain look at shoes, stairs and rugs.
We do not manipulate anyone with osteoporosis or on long-term steroids; the techniques are gentle, and the lower table is always used.
Pay in one go for £220 (saves £20 on four visits) or £73.33 a month over three months at 0%.
Balance test improved for 79% of Steady patients at week 6 (2025, demonstration data)
What should I wear?
Something loose you can move in. For a back or hip we may ask you to strip to underwear or wear shorts; we have shorts and a gown, a towel covers you, and you can keep leggings on if you prefer. You can bring someone with you. Say what you are comfortable with and we work around it.
