Marcus Thorne is a Chartered Physiotherapist with extensive experience in geriatric rehabilitation and orthopaedics. Since qualifying from Cardiff University, he has worked within the NHS and private sectors, helping patients recover from hip replacements, knee surgeries, and strokes. Marcus believes that mobility is the key to longevity and focuses his practice on 'pre-habilitation'—strengthening the body to prevent falls before they happen. He is an expert in adapting standard physiotherapy protocols for the home environment, teaching patients how to use furniture and simple aids to exercise safely. Marcus also provides critical advice on pain management, distinguishing between 'good' exercise pain and injury signals, especially for those with arthritis. He regularly contributes to clinical guidelines on maintaining muscle mass in the over-70s and advocates for the benefits of soft gymnastics and resistance training. Through his writing, Marcus aims to motivate seniors to remain active, providing them with professional, clinically sound strategies to improve balance and coordination without the need for a gym.
