Who We Are
Who We Are
I'm Melissa Gunstone, a trained and registered kinesiologist.
I'm on a mission to help seniors live actively and happily! I am known as The Fall Prevention Coach, because I teach seniors how to prevent falls. You can research me at Fallprevention.coach or find me on Linkedin!
Since 2022, I have visited senior homes teaching seniors how to reduce their fall risk and combat aging. Over and over again, I learned that seniors were not exercising because they (1) were afraid of falling and (2) they didn't enjoy it.
It motivated me to develop tools that any senior could use to protect themself against sarcopenia and falls. This is why I founded Sturdey!

Research from the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy confirms that just 10 minutes a day of targeted training can improve balance and lower fall risk — especially in adults over 65.
Here's what to expect :
Day 1
Full-body mobility + gentle balance
Loosen up stiff joints and wake up your body with simple movements to help you feel more fluid and steady.
Focus exercise: Standing weight shifts with eye tracking — gently shift your weight side to side while listening to my cues to reconnect with your balance.
Day 2
Lower body strength + stability
Build strength where it matters most for walking, stairs, and getting up with confidence.
Focus exercise: Sit-to-stands — safely practice standing up and sitting down to strengthen your legs.
Day 3
Coordination + reaction training
Train your brain and body to work together so you can react quicker and move with control.
Focus exercise: Fall Simulation — improve reaction time by catching yourself falling forward.
Day 4
Core strength + posture
Support your spine and improve posture so you feel more upright and stable throughout the day.
Focus exercise: Seated march with posture hold — engage your core while maintaining a tall, supported position.
Day 5
Full-body balance and movement flow
Bring it all together with smooth, controlled movements that build confidence in real-life motion.
Focus exercise: Step + reaction reach — combine stepping and reaching to challenge balance in a safe, controlled way.
Do you feel stiff getting up in the morning?
Hesitant on uneven ground?
Worried about a stumble in the garden or on a walk?
In just 10 minutes a day, you'll build the strength, stability, and coordination that keeps you doing the things you love: tending your garden, walking with friends, playing with grandkids, and moving through life with ease.
Because the science is clear:
Habits that are easy to access are 2x more likely to stick.
And it takes 66 days, on average, to build a new one.
With The Daily Steady, that healthy habit is now one click away.
