Frailty & Energy Management

Managing Frailty: Staying Strong Without Overdoing It

Frailty can affect strength, balance, and energy levels - but with the right support, it’s possible to maintain independence and confidence.

Occupational therapy takes a proactive approach, focusing on energy conservation and pacing techniques to help you do more without feeling exhausted.

Practical Tips:

• Break tasks into smaller, manageable steps
• Alternate activity with rest periods
• Sit rather than stand for longer tasks
• Prioritise the most important activities each day
• Use labour-saving equipment where appropriate

By working with your body, not against it; you can stay active while protecting your energy.
