Who this is for
Adults 55+You might be a good fit if:
- You have had a fall or near miss in the last year.
- You feel less steady on your feet or worry about losing independence at home.
- Your doctor has told you to get stronger but you do not have a clear plan.

What happens during your visit
40 minutesTalk through your goals and history
We start with a short chat about your health, recent scares or falls, and what independent at home means for you.
Ten simple strength and balance tests
You will complete a set of safe, supervised tests: standing balance, chair stands, walking, grip strength and more. Every test is adjusted to your level.
Your 12 Week Independence Plan
We show you your results, explain your BASE Score and Independence Age, and outline a clear 12 week plan. Your written plan is emailed to you within 24 hours.
When clinically appropriate, your plan may include two introductory Stronger & Steadier classes so you can experience the room before deciding about membership.
How we measure your independence
BASE Score
Your BASE Score brings together your balance, walking, strength and everyday function into one simple number for your age and sex.
Independence Age
Your Independence Age compares your BASE Score to typical results for different ages. It is a guide, not a diagnosis.
Your Independence Age could be similar to, higher than, or lower than your calendar age.
To make your progress concrete and show whether your plan is working every 12 weeks.
We never promise to turn back the clock. We focus on safe, measurable improvements that help you stay independent.
What other locals have achieved
First 12 week results for Stronger & Steadier members at our Perth clinic:
Average improvement on the 6 minute walk test. One member added 141 metres.
Extra stands in 30 seconds, on average.
Average increase in grip strength. Top mover added 6.5 kg.
Individual results vary. These numbers show what has been typical for people who complete their 12 week plan.
I couldn't push a shopping trolley without stopping as my knees were so painful. Now I can get out and about again and enjoy the things I love with little or no pain.

After six weeks I can put weight on my hip again and my limp is almost gone. I've regained mobility, confidence, and a sense of independence I thought I'd lost.
Rie, 62 (Google review)
I could hardly walk with osteoarthritis in my knees. Now I can go for a 30 minute walk every day and I'm hopeful I've avoided knee replacements.
