[quote=Anonymous]You might also seek a certified fitness or exercise coach who would work one-to-one with individuals with varying needs to assess and develop an exercise routine.  This routine could include what is needed including walking, balance, strength training, some aerobic, and stretching.  The person would do the routine with the person.

In our case we found a person with a masters in exercise physiology who has a private practice with an in-home gym to go to ir she travels to one’s home.  She serves mostly seniors in our area in Virginia.   he works with our daughter who has a disability so it has taken time to develop a routine.  It turns out she teaches a cicle if sessions at the senior center and someone said she had private clients so that is how we found her.

Ideas on finding a person might be to look at the senior center in your area and see what the background is and if they work privately. Check with area universities to see if they have a way to post your need with graduate students in kinesiology, sports fitness or related programs.
