Ageing Well Resources for Physios

Access resources to support your practice

What is it?

The intention of this campaign is to bring public awareness to ageing well and gerontology, dispelling the myths associated with it, and further demonstrating the benefits of a physiotherapist’s input in all areas of life.

Why Ageing Well?

With the advancements in healthcare, we now have the potential to live for longer than ever. However there is still an element of acceptance when it comes to older adults experiencing falls, deteriorating physically and contracting illnesses. While the ageing process naturally has an impact on muscle mass, strength and function, living a healthy and active lifestyle should still be the target for all.

As part of the gerontology caregiving team, we can share strategies and our knowledge on how to do that.
