Telegraph Health: Expert Guide to Staying Active and Injury-Free Over 65

Featured in: The Telegraph

The Telegraph published comprehensive guidance on maintaining fitness and recovering from injuries for those over 65, emphasising the critical role of professional physiotherapy and appropriately adapted training programmes. Their feature explored how expert-led approaches support healthy ageing whilst protecting against the setbacks that derail many people’s fitness journeys later in life.

Age-appropriate training isn’t about lowering expectations—it’s about matching methods to physiology. At Vive Fitness, our trainers and sports therapists work with clients across all age ranges, adapting intensity, exercise selection and recovery protocols to ensure safe, effective progress. EMS training offers particular advantages here: significant strength stimulus with minimal joint stress, making it ideal for those managing arthritis or recovering from injury.

Our Assisted Stretching and Sports Massage services complement strength work beautifully, addressing mobility limitations and tissue quality that often constrain movement as we age. The Telegraph’s coverage reflects what we see daily—when training is properly tailored and professionally supervised, age becomes far less limiting than most assume. Discover age-appropriate expert training with our £35 trial session.
