The Programme
CONCENTRATION & MEMORY
The 9-week “Think on your feet” programme includes concentration, attention and memory tasks suitable for all abilities. A detailed initial assessment that is included in the programme will determine what is a good challenge for you.
BALANCE
Balance training tailored to your needs- seated, standing or walking.
FUN
We meet twice a week in small groups of like-minded people with plenty of time for a chat before we get moving and thinking. Contact me for a list of venues of current groups or if you would like to suggest your location for a new group.
