Serving Richmond, South Surrey, Langley, and Delta

When you think of physiotherapy, you might picture rehab after an injury. But did you know that visiting a physiotherapist regularly—even if you’re not in pain—can help you age better, stay mobile, and live longer?

Dr. Peter Attia’s bestselling book Outlive introduces Medicine 3.0—a new approach to health focused on prevention, strength, and longevity. And at our physiotherapy clinics in Richmond, South Surrey, Langley, and Delta, we bring this approach to life every day.

What Is Medicine 3.0?

Dr. Attia describes:

  • Medicine 1.0: Fought infections (e.g. antibiotics)
  • Medicine 2.0: Managed chronic diseases (e.g. high blood pressure)
  • Medicine 3.0: Focuses on preventing disease and decline before it starts

One of the biggest ways to prevent decline? Muscle.

Why Muscle Is the Key to Healthy Aging

Muscle helps you:

  • Stay balanced and prevent falls
  • Maintain mobility and independence
  • Improve heart and metabolic health

Studies show that people with more strength live longer. That’s why strength training for seniors is a major focus at our physiotherapy clinics in Richmond and South Surrey.

Physiotherapy Isn’t Just for Injury – It’s Your Longevity Tool

At our clinics in Langley, Delta, and Richmond, physiotherapists help you:
