Strengthening – it is possible to help support a person’s mobility through strengthening their muscles. This can be done through stretches and exercises like Yoga and Pilates. It is important that you only undertake these kinds of exercises under the supervision of a professional teacher to ensure that you do not find yourself in a situation where you are unstable on your feet.

Posture – by maintaining your posture it is possible to help improve your mobility. It is important that you look at our posture at regular moments during the day to ensure that we haven’t started to slouch and slump as this can cause further issues in our back, neck and shoulders.
