If you’re enjoying your golden years but finding your body’s slowing you down, you’re not alone. There are a multitude of things that can affect how you move around - aches, pains, stiffness, unsteadiness, weakness, fatigue, fear… we could go on and on, but this all sounds very doom and gloom doesn’t it?! Well don’t worry, because the good news is, it doesn’t have to be!! ALL of these things are changeable, and the best part is, we can help you change them!

At Extra Steps Physio, we are the biggest supporters of the elderly population. We don’t believe that anybody has to just accept getting old, getting less independent and getting more fed up.

If we sound like we’re speaking your language, get in contact today to find out how we can help.

If you’re recovering from illness, injury or surgery, you may have found that you’re no longer able to do the things you used to just do without even thinking about it. Simple things that you used to take for granted, like getting out of a chair, pottering around your house, popping up & down stairs, might now seem a huge effort - or even worse, impossible. Did you know that a large proportion of people that we work with are older people with movement and mobility problems related to short term illness and hospital stays? Getting people back on their feet & back to doing the things they love is one of the things we do best!! We have availability this coming week if you’re ready to chat about how we can help 😀

I’ve had the pleasure of working with this very inspiring lady the last few months & it’s been amazing to see how far she’s come.

She contacted us after having complications following a total hip replacement that meant she had to have further surgery. As a result, she was weak, wobbly, dependent on her husband for most things & absolutely petrified of falling.

Her hard word, grit, determination & patience has paid off and she’s now back to doing things that she’d previously completely written off ever doing again.

Are you ready to take those steps to getting back to doing what you love? I can’t promise you it’ll be easy, but I can promise it’ll be worth it. 🤩

How many times have you seen a health professional & been told your concern is “due to ageing”? How many times have you been left to feel like you just have to accept it? Well we believe you absolutely don’t have to!! You don’t have to just accept pain, stiffness, weakness, unsteadiness, fear, dependency & social isolation as part of getting older - we can help you regain your independence & zest for life again!

If you’ve recently had a total knee replacement, or if your surgery is looming, we hope you have a speedy recovery to getting back on your feet. 👣

Here are some tips to bear in mind in the early days after your surgery:-

✔️ KEEP YOUR PAIN WELL CONTROLLED

If you’re struggling with pain, make sure you’re regularly taking any painkillers that your doctor has prescribed or advised. High levels of pain can stop you moving around, stop you sleeping & ultimately have a negative effect on your recovery. ❤️‍🩹

✔️ KEEP YOURSELF POTTERING ABOUT

It’s really important that you keep yourself moving around regularly, & avoid staying in one position for hours on end. Make sure to keep up with your exercises that your physio should have given you once you return home.

✔️ DON’T PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON YOURSELF

Our final tip is to take one day at a time & don’t expect too much too soon. A total knee replacement is major surgery that puts a toll on your whole body, so be gentle to yourself, especially in the early days.

If you’d like extra support in the days, weeks or months after returning home following a knee (or in fact any other joint) replacement, don’t hesitate to get in touch to find out how we can help. ☎️

(These tips are usually applicable to routine, planned surgery, but are not designed to replace any individual or differing advice you may have been given from your own medical team.)

“What exercise is the RIGHT exercise for me?”

It’s a pretty well known fact in this day & age that exercise is good for you…
❤️ It’s good for your heart
🦴 It’s good for your bones & joints
😃 It’s good for your mood & mental health
🤕 It’s good for reducing your risk of falls.

But as we get older, knowing exactly WHAT exercise is best for you can be hard to figure out, especially when there is a wealth of information out there (which can often be conflicting too!). We’re not surprised if you’re asking yourself questions such as:-

🤔 What activities count as exercise?
⁉️ How often should I be exercising?
🫤 How can I improve my balance?

The tips above provide a starting point for over 65’s to aim for, based on the most current NHS advice.

At Extra Steps Physio, we can provide further advice that’s specific to you, your abilities, your goals & your daily routine. If you’d like more advice & a tailored exercise programme put together specifically for YOU, get in touch today.

A question we’ve been asked a few times is whether we see clients who are having NHS physio. The answer is YES, absolutely! 👍

It may be that:-
✔️ You’re currently being seen by an NHS physio
OR
✔️ You’ve been referred for NHS physio & are currently on a waiting list
OR
✔️ You’ve recently been seen & discharged by NHS services.

In any of these cases above, we would love to help if you feel you need additional support.

Many clients still feel they have ongoing progress to make after being discharged from their NHS team, and others benefit from some supplementary support alongside NHS input. If you’d like additional support, don’t hesitate to get in contact.

We LOVE getting messages like this and hearing how far the people we work with have come.

This lady contacted us after her Mum returned home from hospital & was struggling to move around at home. Things she’d previously took for granted like getting up out of bed and getting off the toilet by herself were no longer achievable, and so this family sought our help.

We worked with this client to gradually regain her strength and balance, until she was back to pottering around her bungalow just as she’d hoped.

If you too are a concerned relative & would like to know more about how we can help one of your loved ones, please get in touch.

🚶Are you finding your body is slowing you down quicker than you’d like as you’ve reached your golden years? Are you starting to feel weaker? Wobbly? Frightened of falling? We know how frustrating it can be when your body starts to lag behind what your mind still wants to do! 🧠

🎯 At Extra Steps Physio, we don’t believe you should just have to accept this as part of aging and getting older. Tell us about your movement and mobility worries, and we will work alongside you to get you to where you want to be.
