Physiotherapy clinics in Shirley and Olton, Solihull

Over 60s Health & Fitness in Solihull

Stay active. Feel steady. Keep doing what you love.

Personalised one-to-one exercise and movement support to help you build strength, confidence and everyday independence at a pace that feels right for you.

Build strength

Feel steady

Stay independent

Movement for real life

Feeling stronger can make everyday activities feel more manageable.

Stairs can begin to feel harder, balance may feel less certain, or stiffness can show up in the small tasks that matter most. Our Over 60s Health & Fitness service is designed around your day-to-day life, not a one-size-fits-all gym routine.

Sessions are one-to-one, unhurried and shaped around your health, medications, energy and goals. Whether you are getting back into movement after illness or surgery, want to feel steadier on your feet, or simply want to keep active, we start from where you are today.

Support for lasting confidence

Build a routine that helps you move more comfortably and stay connected to everyday life.

Your goals lead the plan

Exercise that connects to the way you live.

We focus on the movements you want to feel more capable and confident doing, then progress
them steadily and safely.

01

Everyday strength

Build the strength needed for getting up from a chair, climbing stairs, carrying shopping and moving around your home.

02

Balance confidence

Use manageable balance and coordination work to support steadier movement and greater confidence on your feet.

03

Comfortable mobility

Improve useful movement through gentle mobility work, stretching and strengthening around the joints that feel stiff or restricted.

04

Energy for more

Introduce suitable low-impact activity so walks, errands and recreational activities feel more achievable over time.

Your personal training plan

A clear plan, adjusted around you.

Your session is shaped by how you feel on the day. We take into account your health history, current symptoms, medication, previous activity levels and what you would like to be able to do more easily.

That may mean rebuilding confidence after a wobble, a hospital stay or surgery, or working toward a more active lifestyle with a realistic routine you can maintain

We keep it simple and practical.

You will understand what each exercise is for, how to do it safely and how it relates to your everyday goals.

01

Assess

We discuss your health, movement, concerns and goals, then look at strength, mobility, balance and function where appropriate.

02

Train

You work through a tailored mix of strength, balance, mobility and low-impact cardiovascular activity at a manageable pace.

03

Progress

We build your confidence gradually, review how things are going and adapt your plan as your ability and goals change.

What we can work on together

Five foundations for staying active
and independent.

Every plan is individual. Your clinician will help you prioritise the areas that are most relevant to your
health, lifestyle and confidence.

01

Muscle strength & power

Progressive resistance and functional exercises can support the strength needed for everyday tasks, from standing up and climbing stairs to lifting and reaching.

02

Bone health

Where appropriate, weight-bearing and strengthening activity can be built into a plan that supports long-term physical function and skeletal health.

03

Balance & coordination

Targeted exercises can help you practise control, stability and movement strategies for daily activities and changes in direction.

04

Joint mobility & flexibility

Gentle mobility work and exercise can support comfortable movement for reaching, bending, dressing, walking and getting around.

05

Cardiovascular fitness & wellbeing

Appropriate low-impact activity can help you build tolerance for the things you enjoy, supporting energy, confidence and a more active routine.

One-to-one support

Focused attention, clear coaching and a pace tailored to you.

What a session may include

Guided, confidence-building exercise.

There is no pressure to keep up with a group. Your clinician will guide you through the right amount of activity for you and help you build a routine that feels achievable.

Stay active

Strength, balance and confidence built one step at a time.

A sensible place to start

It is never too late to begin moving more.

For adults aged 65 and over, national guidance encourages being active daily, reducing long periods
of sitting, and including activities that develop strength, balance and flexibility. We help you take a
safe, manageable first step based on your own starting point.
