I recently shared a story from when
I was a physiotherapist in my 20’s. I
recalled being inspired by two of my
patients who were in their 80’s.
At the time, I was treating clients in an
outpatient physiotherapy department
at a local hospital and, while I do not
remember my clients’
names, I do remember
one client in her 80’s had a
back injury and the other,
also in her 80’s, a shoulder
injury. Yes, it was great
that they were actively
seeking physiotherapy
for their injuries but what
was more impactful to
me at the time, was their
committed desire to get
better. I still remember
them pleading with me, “I
have to get better, I miss
golfing with my friends.” The other
said, “I’m still walking the course with
my friends, but I want to golf too.”
What commitment.
I absolutely loved this!
Not only did they both demonstrate
the physical benefits of golf, but it was
evident there were social benefits too.
This was a huge eye opener for me,
that golf was a sport that I too could do
well in my later years. At the time, I had
not taken up the sport but I remember
thinking... I’m not likely to be playing
volleyball or basketball in my 80’s, so
maybe I should try golf.
And so, it was those two ladies in
their 80’s who inspired my younger
twenty-something self to continue to
stay active and start on my own golf
journey. One is never too old to provide
inspiration to others!
Although I do not play as much as I’d
like, I am grateful I started golf and I do

hope to continue to play well into my
later years. Golf is clearly a sport that
can be played at any age, and it’s never
too late to start. I love that it provides
physical activity in nature, mental
stimulation, and opportunities for much
needed social interaction.
Also, remember that seeking
physiotherapy at any age demonstrates
a proactive approach to maintaining
mobility, strength, and overall wellbeing.
And, engaging in any physical
activity and physiotherapy at any stage
of life can be highly beneficial.
Move. Feel. Live.
