STAY ACTIVE AT HOME
We asked one of our friends, who is a leading physio therapist and former elite athlete what people can do to keep their bodies healthy and fit at home, in the garden or during the daily walks. She immediately designed a simple program that anyone can follow and benefit from – rollator user or not.
So get ready, grab a chair or a rollator and get moving.
