Transform your health in ten simple steps - why strength is the magic bullet for ageless energy and longer life
What if you could take a medicine that reduces your chances of frailty, weakness, osteoporosis, preventable injury and early death by a factor of five? Something that dramatically increases your chance of a happy, healthy and independent older age?
Currently, no such medicine exists, but these rewards are within easy reach, and the answer is simple: strength building. In this groundbreaking book, renowned Osteopath David Vaux unveils decades of scientific research on strength and the musculoskeletal system. He explains why getting stronger is one of the simplest, cheapest and most life-changing things you can do - and unveils a simple ten-step strength plan that will empower you to embark on your journey towards a stronger and healthier life.
10-Step Strength Plan: Simple, easy-to-achieve steps to building strength and actionable guidance: With a comprehensive 10-step strength plan, "Stronger" provides readers with a clear roadmap to follow. The book breaks down the process of building strength into manageable steps, ensuring that readers can easily implement the strategies and techniques outlined to achieve tangible results.
Like a strength version of a pension plan, the earlier we start investing in our strength, the better our older age will be. Stronger is the definitive guide to unlocking a life full of vitality and health, explaining the what, why and how strength is key to longevity right up to your last day on this planet.

David Vaux is recognized as one of the UK's most innovative osteopaths, with a special interest in strength and movement prescription for optimal ageing and pain management. He is an expert in older age strength, providing his expertise to multiple healthy ageing focused projects as well as working with elite performers from the arts and sporting arenas.
As a second-generation London Firefighter serving operationally during the 90s and 2000s, David became the youngest person to attain the rank of Sub officer in the London Fire Brigade. After 15 years of front-line duty, a career-ending spinal injury forced him to change course. He discovered osteopathy, first as a way of dealing with his own injuries, then - realizing how life-changing the practice of movement, balance and strength, can be - he trained as an osteopath and threw himself into the world of academia.
Over the past decade he has been on working and steering groups for the Osteopathic Sports Care Association; the Institute of Osteopathy; DEMOS/ Sport England; The Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance (ARMA UK), Imperial College London; Move Together, and more. As an authority on older age strength and resilience, David now provides strategic advice on exercise and activity to leading UK charities, and develops resources for healthy ageing projects within the government, private, and the third sectors.
