Abstract		Ageing is a complex process involving many variables that interact with one another, greatly influencing the manner in which we age. At the level of organism, life may be defined as internal homeostasis, which involves compensating mechanisms at the level of cells, tissues, organs and system. The existence of "reserve" at mentioned levels enables stressed organism to maintain and/or restore homeostasis when it is deranged by external threat. With the age reserve decline, so does the ability to maintain and/or restore homeostasis. One of the greatest and the most silent threat among elderly is immobilisation. It additionally reduces the posibility of maintaining and/or restoring homeostasis and leads to the premature impairment, disability and at the end to the death, even without disease. With regular and well plained physiotherapy we can reduce the influence of threats, support the reserves and enable healthy ageing.
Summary		Staranje je kompleksen proces, ki vključuje številne dejavnike. Ti vplivajo drug na drugega in s tem tudi na način našega staranja. Življenje lahko definiramo kot vzdrževanje homeostaze, v katero so na ravni celice, tkiva, organa ali sistema vključeni kompenzatorni mehanizmi. Rezerve na že omenjenih ravneh omogočajo organizmu, da vzdržuje in /ali ponovno vzpostavi homeostazo, če je bila ta motena. Z leti rezervne zmogljivosti upadajo, prav tako zmogljivost vzdrževanja in/ali ponovnega vzpostavljanja homeostaze. Ena od največjih in najbolj tihih nevarnosti med starostniki je imobilizacija, ki dodatno zmanjšuje zmogljivost vzdrževanja in/ali ponovnega vzpostavljanja homeostaze. Vodi v prezgodnjo okvaro, prizadetost in nazadnje smrt, tudi brez prisotnosti bolezni. Z redno in dobro načrtovano fizioterapijo lahko zmanjšamo zunanje škodljive vplive, dajemo podporo obstoječim rezervam in omogočamo zdravo staranje.
