Discover the inspiring journey of physiotherapist Will Harlow in this episode, where he shares how he transitioned from the high-stakes world of professional football to finding his true passion in supporting individuals over 50. Will's experiences reveal the unique challenges older adults face in maintaining muscle and bone health, offering insights from his book, "Thriving After 50." Through engaging discussions, we uncover strategies to counteract age-related physical decline and explore the importance of patience in healing, while proposing alternatives to surgery for greater mobility and independence.

Will brings an empowering message that it's never too late to enhance your physical health, regardless of past activity levels. Even in one's 70s, 80s, and 90s, significant improvements in muscle mass and bone health are achievable through resistance training and consistent effort. This episode introduces the innovative "nine at 90" concept, a set of movements to maintain full-body mobility into one's 90s, offering listeners both personal goals and a framework for assessing their movement health.

Throughout the conversation, we delve into practical strategies for injury prevention and rehabilitation. Will emphasizes exercises like the goblet squat and effective warm-up routines, advocating for rehabilitation over surgery in many cases, and highlighting the body's natural healing capabilities. We tackle common issues such as back pain and kyphosis, underscoring the power of exercise as a primary treatment.
