Who we are

WrinkleWell.com is a collaborative website run by Mark Hurworth, an Orthopaedic Surgeon (www.markhurworth.com.au), and physiotherapists from Flex Physiotherapy in Perth, Western Australia. 

"Many of my patients seem poorly prepared for ageing, and - especially as I noticed my own body showing signs of wear - I decided it was time to do something about it - think autobiography of the body", says Dr Hurworth. "Modern medicine does a relatively poor job of providing a narrative of what to expect, and what actually needs fixing as one ages. In fact, it could be argued that, despite the truly amazing advances in modern medicine, we have only succeeded in prolonging the ageing process. In particular, the crucial musculoskeletal questions are often poorly understood:

• do I really need surgery ie what happens if I do nothing, or can I get better another way?

• if I need surgery, when is the best time to go ahead with it/ how best can I prepare for it? 

• how am I going after surgery/ how can I get better quickest?”

At WrinkleWell.com we are dedicated to bringing you sensible, evidence-based advice on normal age-related changes in the musculoskeletal system in particular. 

We hope to provide easy to understand explanations that debunk and de-threaten the conditions and processes of ageing, a topic rarely discussed today.

We want you to get the most out of your body and mind, and enjoy an active enjoyable retirement - your golden years!
