Strength for Living

With age normally comes a decline in physical abilities, an increase in the chance of developing a chronic disease and increasing difficulty in performing the tasks of everyday life. 

At the core of what we do is using exercise to maintain health, physical abilities and quality of life. By applying a mix of knowledge gained through experience and academic learning, we plan for safe, progressive exercise starting from your current abilities and building towards goals for a stronger, healthy future.

While having a medical condition can be overwhelming, staying physically active in the right ways has been shown to have a positive influence on a broad range of conditions from cancer to diabetes, musculoskeletal conditions including many forms of arthritis. The list of conditions and chronic illnesses which can be positively impacted through correctly prescribed exercise is extensive and there is a huge volume of evidence supporting the use of exercise to influence health outcomes. Having an Exercise Scientist working with you as part of your treatment can enable you to manage your condition in a way that compliments your treatment and promotes overall health.
