Movement supports bone density, muscle strength, brain health, and overall vitality—but as we age, the risk of injury can increase if we don’t maintain our body’s foundations.
That’s where prehab comes in.
What is Prehab?
Prehab (short for “preventative rehabilitation”) is a proactive approach to physiotherapy. Rather than waiting for an injury to occur, prehab focuses on assessing movement patterns, identifying imbalances, and building strength in the right places to prevent issues before they start.
This is especially useful for:
- Weekend warriors – who stay active but may not train consistently
- Over-50s – who are noticing more stiffness or niggles as time goes on
- Anyone who’s had a past injury and wants to avoid recurrence
“Is This Just Aging… or Should I Get It Checked?”
We often hear clients say things like:
“I’ve got a sore knee, but I guess that’s just part of getting older.”
The truth? Some wear-and-tear is natural. But pain that lingers, limits your movement, or changes how you do things is not just aging. It’s your body’s way of saying: something needs support.
A physiotherapist can help you:
- Understand what’s really going on
- Rule out more serious issues
- Create a plan to restore strength, mobility, and function
