Senior’s Physio

Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones, whereby the bone loses minerals, such as calcium, faster than the body can replace it.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “use it or lose it” more than enough times throughout your life, and when it comes to exercising in our later years, it’s an important phrase to remember!

What is Preeclampsia? Preeclampsia is a condition which women are at risk of after the 20th week of their pregnancy where the mother develop issues such as high blood pressure, protein in the urine and swelling.  It can be extremely dangerous for both the mother and the unborn child and requires close monitoring by medical professionals to ensure symptoms do not progress.

As I have aged over my twenty years as a physiotherapist my clients have aged with me and more and more they are asking me for treatment and exercises to help with their arthritic hip, knee or low back.

This group of clients is one of the most satisfying to treat because with some fairly straight forward strategies I can have a big impact on their quality of life. “But you can’t fix a worn out joint!” I hear you say, and this the question my long term clients often have for me.
