Why Growing Younger Physiotherapy?

When you hit your 40’s you know your body is not quite the same as it used to be. You could still be fit and healthy (...and you should do your best to keep it that way) but the body goes through some changes. Ignoring those changes can be detrimental.
 
That’s why we specifically cater for people over 40 to recover from their injuries, get back on-track and return to their pre-injury function… or better.​​

BodyFit Physiotherapy morphed into Growing Younger Physiotherapy with the main focus on helping people 40+ recover from their injuries in the most effective way.
​
Growing Younger now has a team of 2 physiotherapists, 2 acupuncturists and 5 personal trainers working under their roof across their 2 locations in Howick and Highland Park.
