Many people over 50 find getting up off the floor harder than it used to be.

Unfortunately increased effort standing up could be a sign of deeper age-related changes your body might be going through.

But it's not all doom and gloom because  a lot of these changes can be reversed with the right approach. 

In this episode, I break down the three main reasons behind this common problem and share practical physiotherapy strategies to overcome it.

In this episode you will discover:
 ✅ Why knee pain or arthritis can make kneeling difficult — and how to get up safely without kneeling
 ✅ How age-related muscle loss in the legs affects your mobility (and what to do about it)
 ✅ Why upper body strength matters more than you might think
 ✅ Simple, effective ways to rebuild strength and confidence getting up from the floor

Whether you’re noticing early signs of weakness or already struggling to get up easily, this episode will show you how to stay strong, mobile, and independent — no matter your age.
