Last month I was training Margaret, age 76. She arrived using a cane for the first time in her life and said, “I guess this is just what happens when you get old. Everyone I know is wobbly now.” I hear that sentence almost every single week. Here’s what I told Margaret (and what I […]

A single fall rarely “just” breaks a bone. After one fall: Doctors call it the “fear-avoidance cycle”: Fall → fear → less activity → weaker muscles → higher risk → next fall. The way out is simpler than most people think: move a little every day in ways that rebuild confidence along with strength. This […]

Let me tell you about Linda, 70, who has type 2 diabetes. When she first started with us, she said, “I watch my carbs, I take my medication, and I walk a little… but my numbers are still up and down.” Six months later, after adding gentle strength sessions twice a week, she told me, […]

Strength, balance, endurance, mobility overview; differences from generic programs.

Benefits of walking, limits for strength & balance, why structured training is essential.

Join us as we delve into a specific example in which one chooses to recover at home following a hospitalization. We are aiming to shed light on the complexities that make our healthcare system hard to understand, and empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.

Within the VALD Hub, our management system, we can view a number of different metrics, each of which with their own degree of importance. When assessing our members we view three different tests, the squat, sit to stand and quiet stand on our Force Deck platforms.

As you know, we have quite the extensive assessment process. Thanks to our partners at VALD, we have been able to take our assessment process to the next level. While traditional practices rely on manual muscle testing, and perhaps outdated modalities, we pride ourselves on the objective data we collect through our health technology.

A recent study titled, Handgrip Strength Asymmetry as a New Biomarker for Sarcopenia and Individual Sarcopenia Signatures was published September 2023. This research article explores the concept of handgrip strength asymmetry as a potential biomarker for sarcopenia.
