FKB Physio: Founded by Frances

My name is Frances Brown and im a physiotherapist from Brisbane , Australia.  I have been a physiotherapist for 15 years and have been running our small business FKB physio for the last 5 years. 

At FKB Physio we run more than 30 group classes a week for people who want to exercise to support longevity and promote strength, balance, and bone health. I wanted to develop an online option for people who aren't able to attend regular sessions like these. 

As you probably know, recent research suggests that there are numerous health benefits to resistance training and lifting weights.  Strength training that gets progressively more challenging over time is one of the only ways to effectively reduce age related muscle and bone loss.  It is important to stress that we cannot guarantee any outcomes from a particular intervention or program.  We have simply designed our programs in line with the evidence base for effective types of exercise to help support muscle and bone health as we age.  

I have created an introduction to strength training program to access from home and I hope it will be the first of many.

I think it's so important to get the message out to as many people as possible that strength training is incredibly important and the earlier we get started, the better.

Happy lifting,

Frances
