Physiotherapy myth

❌ MYTH: Physiotherapy is only for sports injuries.

✅ FACT: Physiotherapy can help people across all stages of life.

I work with people experiencing chronic injuries, mobility difficulties, balance problems and falls.

Physiotherapy can be about helping someone return to sport — but it can also be about helping someone feel confident walking to the shops or getting up from a chair. Sitting on the floor to interact with grandchildren.

Movement goals don't have to be big to be important. 💛. Your goal is important no matter what it is.

I heard a quote last night and I loved it..

set aspirational yet realistic goals.

And I'm here to help with that journey when your ready.

Falls aren't “just part of getting older”

Ahhh it makes me sad people say and believe this and think they have no influence or control over it.


Falls can become more common as we age, but that doesn't mean they're something we simply have to accept.
There are plenty of things that can be done to help reduce falls risk and improve confidence.

Strength and balance exercises are often an important part of falls prevention.
🚶‍♀️ Stronger legs
✊🏻Strong grip
⚖️ Better balance
💪 Greater confidence
If you're concerned about your balance or you've had a recent fall, speak to a healthcare professional about getting assessed.

I'm too old to exercise WRONG. No exceptions. There is ALWAYS something you can do.

One of my favourite things to remind people is:
You're never too old to work on your strength and balance. 💛

Exercise doesn't have to mean going to the gym.
It could be:
🪑 Sit-to-stand exercises
🪜stairs
🚶 Walking
🦵 Leg strengthening
⚖️ Balance exercises
🏡 Functional activities around the home
The most important thing is finding movement that is safe, appropriate and meaningful to you.

Also it doesn't have to be a physio.

Chronic pain....

Living with pain for months or even years can affect much more than your body.

It can and DOES affect your:
😴 Sleep
🚶 Activity
😊 Mood
💼 Work
🏡 Daily routines
❤️ Confidence

When you've lived with pain for a long time, it's understandable to become worried about movement and limit your activities.

Physiotherapy can help you understand your symptoms and work towards realistic goals at a pace that feels appropriate for you.

You don't have to wait until you're completely pain-free before you start moving again. In fact you shouldn't! (the majority of the time)
