Elevate your stability and strength with expert-guided, hands-on training in Zurich Altstetten—built to empower your everyday life.
A fall is rarely just bad luck. More often than not, it is the result of fading strength, unsteady balance, or a changing gait. The great news is: you can actively work on exactly that. At BodyLab in Zurich Altstetten, we will train with you to specifically target what keeps you steady on your feet—calmly, patiently, and entirely at your own pace.
Why prevention is your ultimate power move
Why targeted training pays off
As we get older, a single fall can change everything. An injury like a hip fracture can steal your independence and alter your life forever. That is exactly why prevention is your power—and it truly works.
Over the years, muscle strength naturally declines and balance can become unsteady. Targeted strength and balance training is proven to reduce your risk of falling, helping you stay independent and mobile for longer. This isn't about caution and holding back—it's about reclaiming your confidence and the joy of movement.
Our Therapeutic Vision
How we make it happen
We operate according to the nationally recognized 'Stop Falls' approach developed by the Swiss Council for Accident Prevention (BFU) and Physioswiss: proactively identifying, assessing, and systematically reducing fall risks. Your journey to greater safety starts with two distinct paths:
About another inspiring event
Sometimes you come to us for one thing, and together we discover a great opportunity to strengthen your stability and prevent future falls.
With your doctor's prescription
Whether you come to us directly with a medical referral for fall prevention, or are simply looking to improve, we've got you. In both cases, we analyze your needs closely to design a high-performance plan tailored uniquely to you.
Define your position
We pinpoint your fall risk using industry-standard, proven tests like Timed Up and Go and Five Times Sit to Stand.
Your Signature Plan
We tailor your training perfectly around your daily routine, your goals, and any prior health conditions.
Workouts
Conquer strength, balance, your stride, and everyday challenges like standing up, stairs, and turning.
Consulting
Elevate your home security and peace of mind, from smart lighting setups to safe, stylish footwear.
Stay Driven
We will arm you with powerful home exercises, ensuring you lock in your new skills and keep your momentum soaring.
What we will help you master
You get the most out of it when you stay consistent, ideally training several times a week. To target and build your strength, we offer medical training therapy (MTT)—a doctor-prescribed, physiotherapist-guided training program in our own functional training area. MTT is a proven path to success, but it's not the only one: even without MTT, you will train safely, at the right intensity, and with expert guidance.
Where it makes sense, we complement active training with manual therapy and targeted mobilization—such as for the foot and ankle, which play a crucial role in secure balance. The clear focus is on active physiotherapy. To ensure your progress lasts, you will receive a straightforward home program with exercises to continue independently.
Beyond that, you can elevate your care with osteopathic treatment. It's a powerful, optional addition designed to complement your journey—while not covered by basic insurance, it is often supported by premium key supplementary plans.
Target Audience
Who is fall prevention designed for?
Fall prevention is usually aimed at people aged 65 and over. However, your physical well-being is what truly matters, not your date of birth. This is a core focus within our geriatric physical therapy.
You feel unsteady when walking, climbing stairs, or turning.
Whether you've faced a fall before or are looking to conquer that fear, you have the power to stay strong and steady on your feet.
Whether you are bouncing back from a hospital stay or reclaiming your active life after a long period of downtime, this is your moment to rebuild.
You want to secure your future while you are at your best.
