Now is a critical time to address the growing needs of older individuals with complex health issues. As the workforce ages, it is essential that people remain fit to work longer, while focusing on individual needs and quality care. Funding is decreasing, yet physiotherapy offers clinically effective and cost-effective solutions through rehabilitation and self-management. A holistic, person-centered approach is key to preventing ill health. Decision-makers and the public must be informed on the benefits of physiotherapy. Use CSP resources and local network opportunities to spread the word and promote effective solutions.
