Are you too old to start strength training? Almost certainly not.
For decades, older adults were often encouraged to βtake it easyββwalking, stretching and gentle activities were considered enough.
We now know that strength training can be incredibly valuable as we age.
Building strength can help support:
β’ Muscle mass and physical strength
β’ Bone health
β’ Balance and coordination
β’ Joint function
β’ Everyday mobility
β’ Independence and confidence
And here's the encouraging part: your body can continue to respond to resistance training well into your 70s, 80s and beyond.
At Momentum Physiotherapy in Maple Ridge, we help people get started safely and progressively. Whether you're managing arthritis or osteoporosis, recovering from surgery, dealing with an old injury, or simply want to become stronger, a physiotherapist can help you determine the right starting point and build from there.
Strength training later in life isn't about chasing personal records. It's about having the strength to climb stairs, carry groceries, get up from the floor and keep doing the things you enjoy.
ποΈ It's never too late to get stronger.
