As we age, muscles naturally lose strength and mass, a process called sarcopenia. This can make everyday tasks like standing up, climbing stairs, or carrying groceries harder. Physiotherapy uses targeted strength exercises to slow this decline and keep seniors independent.
When to see a physiotherapist: See a doctor or physiotherapist if you notice rapid muscle loss, frequent falls, or growing difficulty with daily tasks like walking or climbing stairs.
