Built on three pillars

Every session and program we offer, at home or on-site, is built on the same three pillars.

Fall Prevention

Balance, reaction time, and confidence on your feet.

In Stride is not a physical therapy practice and does not treat or diagnose medical conditions. We are a specialized fitness and wellness service — and we can work alongside your healthcare team to make sure your program is safe, appropriate and effective.

Functional Strength

Real-world strength for the movements of daily life.

Mobility

Range of motion that keeps you moving freely.

Ongoing Progress

As you get stronger and more mobile, your program evolves with you. We track your progress and help you build habits that carry you well beyond our sessions.

Free In-home Consultation & Assessment

​

We talk through your health history and goals. No pressure, just a chance to see if In Stride is the right fit.

​

Then we look at your balance, strength, and mobility, so your program starts from where you are.

Ongoing Sessions

We meet regularly in your own space, using the equipment you already have.
