Steady Steps – a Fall Prevention Program

Program Manager: Mrs. Swati Bhandary

The Steady Steps programme aims at restoring elders to their highest possible level of functional capacity. It helps older adults and elders advance into old age with maximum mobility and fitness.


This is an exercise-based approach that uses advanced training equipment. Health conscious elders and those suffering from problems like Arthritis, diabetes, heart ailments and other disabilities benefit from this programme. Individuals with mobility impairments, pain, musculoskeletal disorders, Parkinson’s, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease & coronary artery disease and those who need post- cerebrovascular accident/stroke, post-fracture or post-surgical care also find it useful.  Interestingly, some elders who believe that drugs are not the only answer to their physical disabilities also make good use of this facility. The main focus of this programme is guided physical exercise to correct all aspects of fall including causes, prevention, remedial measures and rehabilitation. Exercises are personalised and individually tailored.


The services include:


  • Geriatric Assessment
  • Health Education
  • Counselling and Guidance
  • Guided Exercises
  • Balance and Fall Prevention Training
  • Post-fall Management
  • Strength and Flexibility Training
  • Physical Conditioning
  • Yoga and Pranayama
  • Rehabilitation
  • Special Exercises for Parkinson’s, Incontinence and Arthritis
  • Domiciliary Service


Beneficiaries Speak


“I am very happy with the fall prevention and exercise programme held at Steady Steps. After attending the exercise session in the morning, I feel energised and am able to do a lot of physical activities with ease. I feel more confident about my health and I recommend it to all elders to prevent falls and maintain their fitness.”

“I had lost all hope when I came to know that I had Parkinson’s. But I got a new lease of life with the help of Steady Steps special exercise programme. I have been attending the exercise programme regularly for the past four years and I have immensely benefited from the same. Regular exercise has helped in arresting the progression and I am very thankful.”

-Mr. Raghuram Prabhu
