As we get older, it’s pretty normal to notice some changes—maybe you’re not as strong as you once were, getting out of a chair feels harder, or everyday tasks just take a bit more effort. This isn’t just “getting old”—you might be dealing with sarcopenia, a gradual loss of muscle mass and strength that often sneaks up with age.
It’s more common than most people realise, and left unchecked, it can really affect your ability to stay independent and active.
How Does Sarcopenia Affect Your Life?
Sarcopenia can lead to:
- Feeling tired or weak during simple tasks
- Difficulty lifting things, walking long distances, or climbing stairs
- A greater chance of falls or injuries
- Losing confidence in moving around your own home
- Needing more help than you’d like with everyday things
But here’s the good news—this isn’t something you just have to accept. There are ways to rebuild strength and confidence, and physiotherapy plays a huge role in that.
How Can Physiotherapy Help?
When you’re dealing with muscle weakness or frailty, especially as you age, physiotherapy can help you:
- Regain strength with tailored exercises
- Improve your balance and reduce the risk of falls
- Build confidence moving around your home or neighbourhood
- Maintain your independence and stay active doing the things you love
And the best part? You don’t even need to leave the house. We come to you.
What Does Physiotherapy Look Like for You?
If you book a home visit, here’s what you can expect:
- A relaxed, one-on-one session in your own home, where we take the time to understand your current strength, balance, and goals.
- A personalised exercise program – gentle but effective movements designed to build up your muscles safely.
- Guidance and support every step of the way, so you’re not left wondering if you’re doing the exercises right.
- Progress tracking – we’ll adjust things as you improve so you keep moving forward.
You don’t need any special equipment—we bring what’s needed, or use everyday household items to keep things simple and accessible.
Why Home Physiotherapy Makes a Difference
Sometimes the hardest part is getting started—especially if getting out of the house is a challenge. That’s why we offer after-hours and home-based physiotherapy—to make it easier for you to get the help you need, without the stress of travelling or sitting in waiting rooms.
Whether you’re recovering from a hospital stay, noticing general weakness, or just want to stay as independent as possible as you age, we’re here to help.
