Strength & Balance Coaching for Older Adults

Helping adults 65+ stay active, confident, and independent with personalized one-on-one wellness care—so you can move safely at home, avoid falls, and keep living life on your own terms.

How can we help?

At Thrive at Home PT and Wellness, we help adults 65+ stay active and independent by improving balance, strength, and confidence—so you can keep enjoying your home and community without the constant worry of falling.

 

Whether you’ve noticed your balance slipping, feel weaker than you used to, or simply want to stay ahead of age-related changes, we’re here to help you move with ease and feel secure.

​

Maybe you’ve started hesitating on stairs, need extra time to get out of a chair, or feel unsteady when walking outside. Perhaps a recent illness or hospital stay left you weaker than before, or a fall—or near fall—has shaken your confidence. These challenges are common, but they don’t have to limit your independence.

​

During one-on-one mobile or telehealth sessions, Dr. Austin Gibbs, PT, DPT, creates a personalized plan built around your goals and daily routine. We’ll focus on:

  • Movement and Balance Screenings (Identify strengths and areas to improve)

  • Personalized Movement and Wellness Coaching

  • Strength and Flexibility Sessions

  • Walking and Mobility Confidence Training

  • Hands-On Movement Support and Guided Stretching

  • Home Safety and Fall Prevention Recommendations

  • Adaptive Equipment and Mobility Aid Guidance

  • Healthy Aging and Lifestyle Coaching

  • Nutrition and Daily Wellness Guidance

  • Ongoing Progress Check-Ins and Plan Updates

 

Every session is tailored to your needs—no rushed appointments or one-size-fits-all routines. You’ll get expert support and a plan that fits your lifestyle, so you can stay independent, feel confident moving through your home, and enjoy the activities that matter most to you. 

​

All Services are provided as wellness and prevention programs-- Not physical therapy-- designed to help you stay active, safe, and independent at home

At Thrive at Home PT and Wellness, we work with older adults who want to stay active and independent—but are starting to notice changes in balance, strength, or confidence. Whether you’re worried about falling, recovering after an illness or hospital stay, or simply want to keep living safely in your own home, we’re here to help.

​

You might be looking for support if you’re experiencing:

  • Feeling unsteady when walking, especially on stairs or uneven ground

  • Trouble getting up from a chair or the floor without assistance

  • Slower movement or fatigue that makes daily tasks harder

  • Hesitation or fear when leaving the house or moving around alone

  • A recent fall—or near miss—that’s shaken your confidence

  • Concerns from family members about your safety at home

  • Someone who has finished Home Health or Outpatient Physical therapy... But is still looking to maintain or expand on their improvements

 

If you’ve been told to “just be careful” or accept these changes as part of aging—and that hasn’t felt right—you’re in the right place.

​

At Thrive at Home, Dr. Austin Gibbs, PT, DPT, provides one-on-one mobile and telehealth wellness sessions to help you build strength, improve balance, and make simple changes to your home environment. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan so you can move with confidence, avoid falls, and continue living life on your own terms.
