The real opening page, word for word. 6 parts in total.
Part 1: Start here
This is an 8-week plan of gentle balance and leg-strength exercises, written to you, the adult child, so that you can offer it to a parent in a way that suits them. It moves in three levels, from seated, to supported standing, to standing near a counter, with 24 exercises, a weekly schedule, a progress checklist, a "when to pause" page, a week-9 review and a guide for a visit with a physical therapist.
What this plan is, and what it is not
It is a general, cautious routine and a way to record progress. It is not medical advice, not physical therapy and not a treatment. It cannot promise that anyone will avoid a fall, get stronger by a set amount or reach a particular goal. People start from different places and move at different speeds, and that is fine.
The plan does not diagnose anything and does not replace a visit with a doctor or a licensed physical therapist. A therapist who has met your parent will always know more about what suits them than this page does.

Who it's for
For an adult child who wants to offer a parent a gradual, clinician-reviewable balance routine, with respect for the parent's choices and pace. An expert review by a physiotherapist or qualified trainer is planned; until then it is general information, not professional advice.
