If an older adult can only just stand up from a chair 5 times in a row?

Then every time they stand up they're working at an intensity equivalent of you doing a heavy squat at 85-90% of your 1RM several times every single day

👉 Strength training is the key to independence

As someone who has previously experienced chronic lower back pain, I understand the frustration that can come with persistent pain. That is why it was SO important to me that the latest episode of my podcast has a core message of optimism, empowerment and hope.

By understanding your pain, feeling in control, and employing the right strategies, you can make significant strides towards a more pain-free life. There are loads of practical strategies in this week’s brand new episode with @PeteOSullivanPT .

Listen to our conversation in full here https://t.co/JfO7GKZEJv or enjoy wherever you get your podcasts.

Sometimes tight = tired

It's important to recognise when a runner's perceived muscle tightness is actually the result of fatigue so we can focus on recovery

Loneliness is the story of far too many older people. It's crippling, can be life-limiting and it's time to change this. And we can. Together.

Access to rehab must be considered as important as access to medicine. Medicine treats a condition. Rehabilitation treats a PERSON & their individual needs to live well for longer. As the old saying goes...“if a doctor saves lives, therapists make it worth living” #RightToRehab

This Einstein quote could be applied to immobilising patients in case they fall in hospital. It’s often assumed that patients are ‘safer’ in bed or not mobilising… but is immobility, and subsequent deconditioning, really ‘safe’? People are built to #EatDrinkDressMOVE!
