Your Balance, Measured with Precision

At The Movement Guild, we believe balance is more than just staying upright — it’s the foundation for moving confidently through life. Our Balance & Fall Risk Assessment uses advanced technology to measure how your body maintains stability, giving you clear, objective insights into your balance and fall risk.

How It Works

We use our Balance Tracking System to measure postural sway — the small, natural adjustments your body makes to stay steady. These movements reflect how well your muscles, joints, and sensory systems are working together.

What You’ll Learn

Your assessment provides a detailed breakdown of your balance performance:

  • Baseline Measurement — Your personal starting point, so we can track changes over time.
  • Progress Tracking — Follow-up assessments to measure improvements since your baseline.
  • Percentile Ranking — See how your results compare to peers your age.
  • Fall Risk Analysis — An easy-to-understand summary of your likelihood of falling, plus the factors influencing it.
  • Advanced Metrics — Insights into movement patterns, including step length, stride time, sway velocity, and center of pressure shifts.

Why This Matters

Identifying changes in balance early can make a big difference in reducing fall risk. Regular follow-up assessments help you see your progress and guide targeted strategies to improve stability, confidence, and mobility.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, noticing changes in your balance, or simply want to stay proactive, our team will help you understand your results and create a plan to keep you steady on your feet.

Don’t wait for a fall to tell you there’s a problem. Our Balance & Fall Risk Assessment is quick, non-invasive, and gives you clear answers you can act on right away.

 

Book your assessment today and take control of your balance, confidence, and independence.
