In the second instalment on sarcopenia prevention, senior physiotherapist Rowena So-Gallego highlights the role of muscle strength in supporting movement and daily function.

As muscle mass and strength decline with age, actions like standing up or climbing stairs can become more difficult, affecting stability and increasing fall risk.

Simple exercises can help. Rowena demonstrates sit-to-stand and step-ups to strengthen lower limbs and improve balance and coordination. Consistency matters, along with natural breathing through each movement.

At Allium Care Suites, practical, guided rehabilitation helps individuals move with greater strength, confidence, and ease, one step at a time.
