1. Exercise Therapy The benefits of physical movement on the mind Zoe George Personal Trainer and Advanced Pilates Instructor

2. Mobility, Co-ordination & Memory Exercise Therapy classes can not only improve a persons physical strength, stability and mobility but can encourage better co- ordination, gross and fine motor skills and memory. All exercises and routines are seated and everyone is encouraged to work to their own level and range of movement. We have run classes in Debenham for over two years and I now run classes in Ipswich. In each class we focus on seated exercises to strengthen major muscles and these are performed in short routines. Movements are designed to improve co-ordination and memory.

3. What happens in a class? The classes are relaxed, social and fun. We aim to get people connected, to talk and to laugh A typical class will start will include : A warm up and mobility exercises A routine of exercises to music Strength exercises using exercise bands and Pilates balls Tea / Coffee break Co-ordination or fine motor skill exercises Range of movement and stretch Breathe and relax
