Questions
Before you book.
Short answers to what people ask most about older adults.
Is it too late to start exercise at 75 or 80?
No. Strength and balance can improve at any age with the right exercise. The plan starts gently and builds up.
Can a family member come along?
Yes, and it helps. Family members can learn the home exercises and safety tips. Video consults let relatives in other cities join in.
Do you look at all my medicines?
Yes. Some medicines can cause dizziness or falls. The doctor reviews your list and may suggest a discussion with your prescribing doctor.
Should I use a walking stick?
Only if it helps. The doctor checks whether you need a cane or walker, the right height, and how to use it safely.
