How Important Is Your Mobility
Mobility and strength are two important things in life we need to maintain as we age. When you are young, your muscles, tissues and nerves adapt well to stretch and injury. As we age, our collagen levels begin to drop. Pain which gets better quickly when you were younger tends to stay present for longer. You begin to feel stiffness in your joints and weakness in the muscles. This is of course all part of the aging process known as Sarcopenia.
As we age and become weaker and stiffer, we are more prone to falls. Falls can cause fractures in the elderly, especially in those with osteoporosis. By entering hospital, you may further deteriorate.
How To Help With Mobility & Prevent Falls and Fractures
The best way to improve mobility, stay active and improve bone health is by taking on Physiotherapy Exercise Programmes. Whole body mobility and strengthening is important to keep muscular, bone and cardiovascular health strong. This can be achieved going to the gym, swimming, yoga or Pilates.
As Physiotherapists, our job is to help you do this. We can guide you in the right direction regarding mobility exercises and falls prevention by assessing your and addressing your needs with a tailored physiotherapy programme. At Rugby Physio, we have been helping people recover and move better for over 28 years. Our experienced physiotherapist provide personalised care to get you moving confidently again.
So, if you’re struggling with mobility or need some guidance in falls prevention, call our friendly team to book an appointment. We also do home visits.
