The Floor Test
79, and still getting up off the floor with no hands.
One ordinary movement a day for thirty days, and room to write down what you noticed. No gym, no kit, and nothing on the floor until you decide you are ready for it.
Usually £12. A 57 page PDF, yours to download straight away and print if you like.

How a day works
Register page 02-
Read the page.
It tells you what you need, which is usually a firm chair against a wall and a worktop within reach.
-
Do the movement.
Today's job is one line at the top of the box. If it does not feel steady, the easier version is underneath it.
-
Write one line.
What you noticed, not what you achieved. Your notes are observations, not marks out of ten.
What this is not
- Not physiotherapy, a diagnosis or treatment.
- Not able to assess your own risk of falling.
- Not a promise that anything will improve.
- Not a reason to stop doing what your GP or physiotherapist has already told you.
If pain, dizziness, weakness or a change in balance concerns you, speak to a GP or physiotherapist first.
Questions
Register page 03Do I need to get down on the floor?
No. Most days are done standing or sitting, using a firm chair and a worktop. Floor work appears only near the end, and every one of those days has a chair alternative that counts the same.
What if I miss a day?
The missed day stays blank and you carry on from today. There is no doubling up and no catching up.
Is this physiotherapy or medical advice?
No. It is an educational workbook for recording your own practice. It cannot assess your individual risk of falling.
What do I actually receive?
A 57 page PDF, downloaded straight after paying, to read on a screen or print at home.
Shall we start with the chair, then?
Thirty pages, thirty days, and your own handwriting at both ends of it.
