Why doing less is a problem
Periods of decreased activity can be problematic with COVID 19 changing the lives of many, if not all of us. Many of us have been isolating for months to reduce our risk of catching the virus. Isolation has brought with it decreased amounts of activity and with that – decreased strength and increased stiffness in the muscles and joints.

Our blog addresses this important issue and sets out a few basic exercises you can introduce to maintain your strength and flexibility.
