Otago Exercise Program at Cascade Medical Rehab
Improve Balance. Build Strength. Reduce Fall Risk.
Cascade Medical Rehab is offering the Otago Exercise Program—a research-based, instructor-led program designed to help reduce fall risk and build confidence in movement. This 8-week program is free to the community and guided by our experienced rehabilitation team.
Program Overview
The Otago Exercise Program is a structured physical therapy program originally developed in New Zealand and widely recognized for its effectiveness in fall prevention. Participants engage in gentle but targeted exercises including:
- Leg strengthening
- Balance training
- Walking routines and functional movement practice
The program is suitable for anyone looking to improve mobility, particularly older adults or those recovering from injury.
Assessments (Required to Join)
All participants—new and returning—must complete a short assessment before beginning the 8-week program. Assessments will include:
- A brief balance questionnaire
- Simple balance tests with our instructors
- Review of results with a licensed physical therapist
📅 Assessment Dates:
- Tuesday, March 24
- Thursday, March 26
⏰ Time: Starting at 9:45 AM (last call at 11:00 AM)
📍Location: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 10170 Titus Road
Note: You only need to attend one assessment to participate. Your class time will be set during your assessment—classes are held Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 AM or 11 AM, and both sessions cover the same material.
"We love seeing participants gain confidence and improve their balance—it’s why we do what we do," says Katie Faw, Rehab Clinic Lead and Physical Therapist at Cascade Medical Rehab.
