Home Physiotherapy for Age-Related Weakness
Understanding General Age-Related Weakness
As we age, it’s normal for our bodies to experience a decline in the amount of muscle mass as well as bone density, as well as general physical endurance. This process, referred to as sarcopenia, can cause general weakness due to age and makes everyday activities challenging and poses a higher risk of injury and falls. Insufficient strength and mobility may impact the ability to function and confidence, particularly during periods of sickness, inactivity, or hospitalization. However, targeted physiotherapy may greatly improve coordination, strength and the living quality in older adults.
