Micro-dosing movement is transforming fall prevention. Instead of long workouts, short daily “movement snacks” help seniors build strength, balance, and confidence supporting safer, more independent living at home.

This past spring, I began a weekly chair-exercise class for seniors at a retirement home in the heart of the Niagara Region — in St. Catharines. My aim was simple: bring safe, effective, in-home personal training for seniors right into a comfortable space, build strength and balance, and reduce fall risk — all while fostering social connection and fun.

We’ve all heard it before “every bit of movement counts.” And it does. But here’s something you might not know: not all minutes of movement are created equal.
