Falls Prevention & Balance Training in Calgary, AB — Stay Strong and Independent
A fall can be life-changing — especially after surgery or as we age. In Calgary, icy sidewalks from November through March make fall risk even higher. At One Physio & Mobility Clinic, our falls prevention and balance training program helps older adults and post-surgical patients build the strength and coordination to stay on their feet.

Overview
When You Need Falls Prevention & Balance Training
If you have had a recent fall, feel unsteady on your feet, or find yourself holding walls and furniture for balance, a falls prevention program is the right next step. Post-surgical patients recovering from knee or hip replacement often need balance retraining as part of their program. Older adults in Calgary who want to keep gardening, walking with grandchildren, and staying active also benefit from a targeted, supervised approach.
Signs You Should Come In
- ✔ Recent fall or near-miss fall
- ✔ Feeling unsteady or lacking confidence on your feet
- ✔ Balance has changed after surgery or a health event
- ✔ Worried about icy Calgary sidewalks in winter
- ✔ Want to stay independent and active as you age
How It Works
Our Falls Prevention & Balance Training Process
We assess your balance, strength, reaction time, and walking pattern. Your program includes standing balance exercises, single-leg stability work, reaction time training, and safe strategies for real-world environments like icy sidewalks or uneven ground. We also address strength deficits in the hips, ankles, and core that contribute to fall risk. Sessions progress steadily so confidence builds alongside physical capacity.

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is falls prevention and balance training for?
Primarily older adults — especially those recovering from surgery, managing a neurological condition, or who have had a fall or near-fall. It is also valuable for anyone with balance concerns after a vestibular or orthopedic problem.
How is this different from regular exercise?
Falls prevention training is targeted: we assess your specific balance deficits, reaction time, and gait patterns, then design exercises that address your actual risk factors — not generic senior fitness.
How many sessions are needed?
Most patients see meaningful improvement in 6 to 10 sessions. Maintenance programs can be continued independently with home exercise plans.
Is it covered by extended health?
Yes. Physiotherapy-led falls prevention programs are covered by most extended health plans. We direct bill.
