The number of people aged 60 years or over has more than doubled, from around 541 million in 1995 to 1.2 billion in 2025, and is projected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050 – we need the number of physiotherapists working with older people to increase at the same rate and pace #OlderPeoplesDay

Doing some physical activity is better than none. Start by doing small amounts, and gradually increase over time.
Older adults should be as physically active as they can. Adjust the effort according to your fitness and range of motion.
