Aging complaints

Would you like to continue to move around comfortably and independently as you get older? FRISKFYSIO Amstelveen is here to help with any questions you may have about your strength, fitness, balance and daily activities.

Why keep exercising?

Regular exercise and strength and balance exercises can help you continue to carry out your daily activities. What is suitable for you depends on your health and what you are currently able to manage. Start gently and build up gradually. If you fall ill, experience new symptoms or have any doubts, discuss with your doctor or physiotherapist which exercises are safe and achievable.

Have you fallen, or are you worried about falling? Please discuss this with us. We’ll assess your walking, getting up and balance, and recommend further assessment if necessary.
