Summary

Readers will learn how to stay fit, healthy, active, and mobile in their fifties and beyond with over-fifties specialist physiotherapist Will Harlow. Unlock the secrets to remaining fit, active and mobile as you age, and look forward to a healthier and more vibrant future. This updated and expanded illustrated edition of the word-of-mouth bestseller provides everything you need to know in order to stay fit, healthy, active and mobile after fifty. This book is for people who know there is still so much living to do after fifty. Life expectancy rises every year, but while many people live to a wonderful age in numerical terms, many of us experience health and mobility issues that can mean our quality-of-life declines. Conventional advice is that pills and surgery are the best answers. But physiotherapist and over-fifties health specialist Will Harlow passionately believes that living with pain as we get older is not inevitable. Thriving Beyond Fifty will help people overcome painful problems, avoid unnecessary surgeries, and get back to living their active lives. We automatically assume that a 25-year-old should be able to lift a suitcase or pick up a small child-but why do we accept that only a handful of 80-year-olds can do the same? Of course, there's no denying the fact that muscles atrophy and lose strength as we age, and some of our joints will show signs of wear and tear, but these problems alone don't automatically determine whether or not we will be capable of performing physical tasks as we age. Will explains the fundamentals of strength, mobility and ageing, and shows you how to challenge the 'inevitable' process of age-related deterioration. With chapters that divide the body into its respective parts, it's easy to pick the sections of the book that are most relevant to you.
