Our Home Physio Approach for Senior Preventable Conditions
Cardiovascular Disease: Regular physical activity is associated with ~20–35% lower risk of heart attack and coronary events compared with sedentary adults.
Stroke: Moderate, consistent physical activity is associated with ~25–40% lower stroke risk, largely through blood pressure, glucose, and vascular health effects.
Falls Prevention: Strength and balance training programs are associated with ~20–30% lower fall risk, and reduced injury severity when falls occur.
Strength & Muscle Loss (Sarcopenia): Resistance and functional training are associated with maintained or improved strength (often ~10–30% over months) and slower progression toward disability and dependence.
Diabetes Type 2: Ongoing physical activity is associated with ~30–50% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and better glucose control when diabetes is present.
