What is the Floor to Stand Program?
Think about how often life happens at ground level: playing with grandkids on the rug, weeding the garden, working low to the ground, or getting up after a slip. When the floor starts to feel like a place you might not get back up from, you avoid it, and every month of avoiding it makes the next attempt harder. Floor to Stand is our movement re-education and progressive strength program, built to break that cycle and restore your ground confidence.
Your Doctor of Physical Therapy starts with a Master Evaluation using the F.A.S.T Approach™ (Facilitation, Activation, Systematic Therapy), the method developed by Dr. Kelly Roberts Lane. We look at how your hips, knees, ankles and trunk are moving, and if a stiff or restricted joint is part of the problem, we work to restore its mechanics first. Then we teach the transitions themselves: kneeling, half kneeling, side sitting, the tripod position and the push back up to standing, each one broken into small, manageable pieces.
The goal is simple. Get down to the ground when you want to, get back up when you need to, and stop letting fear of the floor decide how you spend your day.
