Worried about your balance or moving safely as you get older?

You are not alone.

This "Functional Movement Screen" is designed for active adults 60+.

It uses simple movement checks to help you notice how comfortable and controlled certain movements feel.

The goal? Helping you notice areas that may deserve more practice or professional assessment.

This way, you can choose appropriate exercises for your current ability.

Which of these simple checks would you feel comfortable trying first? 👇

⚠️ Safety first: If you have existing health conditions, new symptoms, significant balance concerns, or are unsure about exercise intensity, please consult a healthcare professional before starting. These checks are not a diagnosis or a substitute for a professional assessment. Use comfortable effort with normal breathing during each check. Avoid straining or holding your breath. Always keep a sturdy, non-wheeled chair or secure support nearby.
