Butcher had a history of back-related injuries when he was drafted by the Power with pick No.8 in last year's NAB AFL Draft and spent most of his first season at Alberton on the sidelines after developing more stress fractures in his back.
The 19-year-old, who is seen as a long-term replacement for retired champion Warren Tredrea, was placed on a modified program this pre-season and hadn't missed a beat until reporting soreness in his back and legs last week.
Falloon was confident the pain had nothing to do with Butcher's recent stress fractures and said he would return to training with the main group in the coming fortnight.
"It was just general soreness stuff, but we decided to pull Butch back a bit," Falloon said. "It's November and we need to make sure we don't lose sight of the fact that he's missed a lot of footy and a lot of training.
"In the three weeks prior to this week Butch - a bit like Hamish Hartlett - had probably done more in terms of the volume of training than he has in any three-week period in the last two years.
"Hopefully, he'll have a pretty good run at it leading into Christmas and then we'll re-assess in January, but at this stage he's going well."
The Power will start next season with the second youngest list in the competition after losing Tredrea, Josh Carr, Brendon Lade and Peter and Shaun Burgoyne in the last two years.
Falloon said the profile of the group had prompted the fitness staff to take a more individual approach to training this summer.
"We've got even younger again this year and have a lot of players aged 18-22 years and that more than anything has dictated the structure of our pre-season," Falloon said.
"We're really trying to take an individual approach to the group, which is difficult to do, but with such a young group and new development coaches Daniel Healy and Matthew Nicks coming in it seems to be working quite well."
Falloon said new coach Matthew Primus had put a lot of the onus back on the players this pre-season.
"Matty has put his stamp on things, but that's more from an organisational point of view and the players' application to training," he said.
"Matty has set the players some goals and if they achieve those they'll be rewarded with days off.
"Some of the boys just had two days off but the others, who didn’t reach their goals, had to come in and train, so a lot of the responsibility is being put back onto the players."
