Strength That Lasts: Physiotherapy for Every Stage of Life
As we move through life, our bodies change. With age and hormonal shifts, especially around menopause, muscles may feel weaker, balance may be less steady, and everyday tasks may become more challenging. This isn’t “just ageing.” It’s sarcopenia, the gradual loss of muscle strength and function. The good news? With proper care, sarcopenia can be slowed, managed, and even prevented.
This World Physiotherapy Day, we’re dedicated to helping women stay strong, independent, and confident at every stage of life.
Why It Matters
Muscle weakness affects our daily life in the following ways:
Balance and stability: Making us more likely to trip or fall.
Joint and back pain: As weaker muscles strain the body.
Everyday independence: Simple activities like climbing stairs or carrying groceries feel harder.
Bone health: Weaker muscles often go hand-in-hand with weaker bones.
If not addressed at the right time, sarcopenia can lead to frailty. But with movement and support, regaining strength can be easier. Blog 06_2025_WPD_Pic 02-min.jpg1.17 MB
How Physiotherapy Makes A Difference
At Fernandez, we see physiotherapy not just as exercise but as a partnership in wellbeing. Here’s how it helps:
Strength beyond age: Targeted resistance training rebuilds muscle, improves posture, and keeps you moving with ease.
Steady on your feet: Balance retraining reduces fall risk and restores confidence.
Core and pelvic floor care: Supporting bladder control, spinal health, and everyday stability.
Protecting bones and joints: Exercises that strengthen without strain, safeguarding long-term mobility.
Peace of mind: Moving well reduces stress, improves sleep, and lifts mood.
