Apologies for not posting in a while but had a lot of things on. Please take time to look over the info. graphic regarding exercise for older populations.
Many of the people I see in clinic fall within the 40 - 75 years range with a few exceptions either side. For “normal” daily living we should all be looking toward proofing our bodies and minds for longevity and thus we all fall somewhere within this exercise arc.
To get more advice on training, rehabilitation or just general well-being book an appointment to discuss options.
