BONES & BRAWN
Strong bones. Strong muscles. Healthy life.
Bones & Brawn Physio Rehab Program
As we age, maintaining strong bones and muscles becomes vital for long-term health, mobility, and independence.
Physio Rehab Program
At Life Performance Health in Melbourne, our Bones & Brawn Physio Rehab Program is designed to help older adults improve bone density, build muscle strength, and reduce the risk of falls — so you can keep doing the things you love with confidence.
Why It Matters
From our mid-40s onwards, bone and muscle loss naturally accelerate. The gradual reduction in muscle mass (sarcopenia) and bone density (osteopenia) can eventually lead to osteoporosis — where bones become brittle and more likely to fracture.
This decline often results in reduced balance, coordination, and physical function, increasing the risk of falls and injuries. But here’s the good news — it’s never too late to strengthen your body.
What the Program Involves
Your journey starts with a one-on-one physiotherapy assessment to develop a tailored exercise plan based on your ability, health history, and goals.
Your program includes:
- Strength and resistance exercises to stimulate bone growth and muscle repair
- Balance and mobility training to improve confidence and reduce fall risk
- Two small-group classes per week for 12 weeks, guided by your physiotherapist
- Ongoing reassessment and support to ensure you continue progressing safely
Classes are fun, social, and suitable for all older adults, whether you’re starting your fitness journey or looking to maintain your independence.
Let us help you on your journey to better health!
