With World Physio Day only a few weeks ago, we're busting the common myths about aging and movement.

Getting older doesn't mean slowing down – it means moving smarter.
Swipe through the myths & facts in our post to learn how physiotherapy supports strength, balance, and independence at every age. Let's stay active, stay strong, and age well – together.

Frailty is not an inevitable part of growing older – and physiotherapy can help prevent it.
Staying strong, active and engaged is the key to ageing well.

Physiotherapy support older adults to:
1. Maintain muscle strength
2. Improve endurance and energy
3. Enhance balance and coordination
4. Stay independent in daily life

Movement is medicine – and its never to early (or too late!) to start. Lets move toward a future where aging is strong, not frail.

Physiotherapist play a key role in reducing falls risk by helping you:
1. Improve strength & balance
2. Increase mobility
3. Assess and make referral for your home environment
4. Build confidence in movement

A small step today can prevent a fall tomorrow. Lets keep our older community safe, strong and standing tall!

1. Improve balance and mobility
2. Prevent falls and injures
3. Manage chronic conditions
4. Stay socially and physically active
Lets champion movement for life – at every stage of life
