There is considerable evidence that regular physical activity can reverse age-related decline in physical and mental function and help to maintain mobility, balance and coordination, as well as improve muscle strength, all contributing to a more independent lifestyle. MOVEability offers dementia friendly sessions to care homes and the wider community, which are tailored to suit the specific requirements of participants.
