WHAT WE TREAT
Aged Care conditions we see from Shailer Park
Osteoporosis & bone health
Progressive heavy and impact loading per evidence-based protocols — supervised, safe even with low T-scores.
Osteoarthritis
Knee, hip and back OA managed with progressive strength training rather than passive treatments.
Healthy ageing strength
Building and keeping muscle through your 60s, 70s and 80s — the single biggest longevity lever.
Post-fracture recovery
Structured rehab after hip, wrist or vertebral fracture — back to walking, transfers and confidence.
Sarcopenia prevention
Resistance training and protein-aligned programming to protect lean muscle through ageing.
GLP-1 muscle preservation
For patients on Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro — resistance training to protect lean mass during weight loss.
OUR APPROACH
Strength is the medicine
The biggest mistake older adults are sold is that exercise needs to be gentle. For sarcopenia, osteoporosis, OA and frailty, progressive resistance training at meaningful intensity is the single most effective intervention. We match the starting load to where you are today and progress sustainably.
