Elderly People (65+)
Are you an older adult who has been putting up with pain that is limiting your independence or enjoyment of life? Are you worried about your balance, or have you recently had a fall or a fracture that has knocked your confidence? Are you a family member watching someone you love struggle with mobility, pain, or frailty and wondering what more can be done? Or are you in your seventies or eighties and still competing, still active, still determined to keep doing what you love for as long as possible?
Whoever you are, you are welcome here.
At Prime Sports Physiotherapy, we work with older adults across the full spectrum. From the competitive seventy-five year old preparing for their next marathon, to someone managing chronic pain and reduced mobility at home, to a resident in supported accommodation who needs physiotherapy brought to them. Age is not a barrier to great physiotherapy. It is often the reason it matters most.
We offer the full range of physiotherapy, strength and conditioning, massage, and wellness services for older adults, tailored entirely to where you are right now and what you want to achieve. Reducing pain and improving comfort, rebuilding strength and balance, recovering from a fall or fracture, managing a long-term condition, or simply staying as active and independent as possible for as long as possible. Whatever your goal, we will build a plan around it.
The evidence for exercise and physiotherapy in later life is compelling. Regular movement and structured physical activity help to preserve muscle mass, protect bone density, improve balance and coordination, reduce fall risk, and support mental health and cognitive function. Investing in your physical wellbeing now is one of the most powerful things you can do to protect your quality of life, your independence, and your longevity in the years ahead. For family members, knowing that a loved one’s pain, mobility, or fall risk is being properly addressed brings its own enormous reassurance.
For those who are unable to attend the clinic due to reduced mobility, frailty, or recovery from illness or injury, we offer home visits, bringing expert physiotherapy directly to you in your own home or care setting. For those who can make it to us, our Balerno and Newhaven clinics are warm, welcoming, and always ready to make the time and space you need.
No referral needed. Just get in touch and we will take it from there.
