DO YOU WAKE UP STIFF, RELY ON PAINKILLERS, AND WONDER IF THIS IS JUST LIFE AFTER FIFTY?

IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE.

 

Built to Last After 50 shows you how to regain control, mobility, and confidence, so you can break free from painkillers and get back to living life on your terms. It cuts through the noise with clear, practical guidance to help you move better, feel stronger, and avoid unnecessary decline.

 

Read this book to:

  • Understand why pain, stiffness and wear and tear dont automatically mean damage - and stop fearing every twinge
  • Let go of advice that keeps you cautious, confused, and stuck
  • Move with confidence instead of bracing, guarding, or holding back
  • Rebuild strength safely, so your body feels capable, not fragile
  • Stop second-guessing your body and start trusting it again

Phil Evans (Phil the Physio) is a Chartered Physiotherapist with over twenty years experience helping people over fifty move better, get stronger, and stay independent. He began his career in elite sport, working with professional and Olympic athletes, before specialising in helping people stay active and confident - without relying on painkillers. Seeing how many people over fifty were being told simply to live with pain, often with no clear plan beyond medication, he founded Urban Body, which combines evidence based physiotherapy with advanced rehab to help people take control of their health.
