Posture Check -  Added stresses are placed on the neck when the head tilts forwards, causing bad posture and increased pain. The use of mobile phones, laptops and computers is prevalent in our daily lives, we are spending many hours with the neck in a static, forward flexed position. This constant increase in stress and weight on the spine may eventually cause neck and back pain, upper back kyphosis and a forward leaning posture. With this in mind, a little exercise goes a long way. Learn easy exercise techniques to lengthen and strengthen your spine, realign the shoulders, ease pain... and stand a little taller!

Walking - Find the time in your day to increase your walking distance steadily. Meet up with friends for a brisk walk in the park to enhance your aerobic training, or search online for a local walking group where a Walk Leader organises weekly meet ups. Wally Walks https://wallywalks.weebly.com/  run a local session in Wallington.
If you are struggling with your ability to walk safely though, come along to my Strength & Balance classes to build your balance and confidence when you are out and about. Get in touch!

Osteoporosis Update on Exercise - issued May 2022 - Exercise advice endorsed by the Royal Osteoporosis Society, has been published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
People with the condition should be encouraged to do more rather than less, it says, by undertaking an exercise routine that focuses on muscle strengthening on two to three days a week and brief bursts of moderate-impact activities, such as jogging, aerobics or Zumba on most days.
And for those who have previously sustained a vertebral fracture or who are frail/elderly, the advice is to include lower-impact exercise up to the level of brisk walking building up to 20 minutes a day. 
​And, of course, all my classes address the beneficial bone loading and balance needed to avoid falls and fractures!
