Strength and balance library

Explore supported, low-complexity movement patterns. This is a selection aid, not an individual exercise prescription or clearance.

Use it thoughtfully

Sit to stand

Practises rising for daily life.

  1. Use a stable chair against a wall.
  2. Place feet where you can control the movement.
  3. Use hands or a higher seat as needed.
  4. Stand tall, then sit slowly and fully.

Supported calf raise

Practises ankle strength with hand support.

  1. Stand near a fixed counter.
  2. Keep fingertips or hands supported.
  3. Rise only as far as controlled, then lower slowly.
  4. Stop if balance feels unsafe.

Wall press

A supported upper-body pushing pattern.

  1. Place hands on a clear wall around chest height.
  2. Walk feet back only as far as secure.
  3. Bend elbows with the body controlled.
  4. Press away without holding your breath.

Supported march

A simple balance and hip-flexion pattern.

  1. Stand by a stable counter or use a seated version.
  2. Lift one foot a small controlled distance.
  3. Alternate without rushing.
  4. Keep support throughout if needed.
