Benefits of Gentle Exercise Classes for Limited Mobility

Gentle exercise classes like this one are specifically designed for those at Level 1 mobility - people who may use walking aids, have reduced strength or balance, or feel uncertain about physical activity. These specialised sessions offer numerous benefits:

• Improved flexibility and range of motion - Gentle mobility exercises help maintain and increase joint function, which is particularly important for those with limited movement.
• Increased strength - Targeted strengthening activities help build muscle power at an appropriate pace, supporting daily activities and independence.
• Better balance and stability - Balance work reduces fall risk, a crucial benefit for those with movement limitations.
• Enhanced cardiovascular health - Light cardio components improve heart health without placing excessive demands on the body.
• Social connection - Classes provide an opportunity to meet others in similar situations, combating isolation that can sometimes accompany mobility challenges.

For individuals with specific conditions like Parkinson's or those recovering from strokes or surgery, regular gentle exercise under professional supervision can significantly improve quality of life and complement medical treatment. Our qualified physio ensures all exercises are appropriate for your personal capability level.

Regular attendance at gentle exercise classes has been shown to help maintain independence, improve confidence in movement, and enhance overall wellbeing. The controlled environment ensures you can safely challenge yourself while receiving expert guidance.
