Functional Movement Exercise-Virtual Coaching

​

Staying active as we age is about more than just exercise—it’s about preserving your freedom, confidence, and quality of life. At AgingWell, our Fall Prevention & Functional Movement Coaching program focuses on the real-world movements that help older adults stay strong, steady, and self-reliant at home and in daily life.

Many common activities—like standing up from a chair, reaching into a cabinet, or stepping onto a curb—require specific movement patterns. These are known as functional movements, and they are the foundation of independence as we age.

According to the CDC, a majority of adults over 65 struggle with basic actions that once felt automatic. That’s where our personalized, functional movement coaching comes in.

Whether you're recovering from a setback, starting to feel a little unsteady, or simply want to stay ahead of age-related changes, our program is here to help.

We focus on seven key movement patterns that form the foundation for strength, balance, and fall prevention:

​

1. Squatting: For getting in and out of chairs or picking items off the floor

2. Hip Hinging: For lifting safely, bending, and moving with less strain

3. Single-Leg Stability: For walking, climbing stairs, and maintaining balance

4. Pushing Movements: For tasks like closing a door or pushing a shopping cart

5. Pulling Movements: For opening heavy drawers or helping yourself up

6. Rotational Movements: For turning, reaching behind, or everyday twisting motions

7. Carrying: For transporting groceries or moving small objects around the home

​​

With guidance from a certified Functional Aging Specialist, you’ll learn how to strengthen these movements gently and safely—right from the comfort of your own home. Sessions are fully remote and easy to join, with live, real-time instruction from a caring professional who’s with you every step of the way.

The goal? To help you stay mobile, reduce your risk of falling, and keep doing the things you love—with more energy, more confidence, and more joy.

Each session is supportive, encouraging, and tailored to your ability level and goals. Best of all, we keep it fun and engaging—so it never feels like a chore. This is movement made for you, in a way that fits your lifestyle.

Let’s work together to maintain the most important thing of all—your independence.
