Did you know that exercise needs change significantly as we get older? We all lose muscle strength as we age, which can mean poor quality of life and loss of independence.

While nearly 90 per cent of people over the age of 60 are aware of the health benefits of exercise, less than a third participate in sufficient physical activity.

Thrive understands the challenges that come with getting older, including reduced mobility, concerns about losing balance, and recovery from injury or surgery. With a highly experienced team and the latest state-of-the-art equipment, Thrive focuses on helping people maintain their health and independence for as long as possible.

They help people to live well and stay in their own home for longer, to continue to walk with friends, play golf, swim and stay active by assisting them to be as strong, balanced and as physically active as they can be.
