- Begin with a physiotherapy assessment.
- Progress exercise around symptoms, capacity and goals.
Why It Matters
Preventative health through physiotherapy
Muscle strength declines with age
Adults gradually lose muscle mass and strength from their 30s onwards. Physiotherapist-guided resistance exercise is a well-evidenced intervention for maintaining and rebuilding strength and physical function.
Bone health responds to appropriate loading
Bone adapts to the loads placed upon it. A physiotherapist can prescribe appropriately progressed weight-bearing and resistance exercise to support bone health.
Strength supports joint protection
Improving the strength of muscles around the hip, knee and shoulder can help manage joint load. Strengthening exercise is recommended within clinical guidelines for the management of common musculoskeletal conditions affecting the joints.
Preventing inactivity-related ill health
Regular, appropriately prescribed physical activity plays an important role in the prevention and management of illness and health impairment related to physical inactivity — a core part of physiotherapy practice.
