Course Description
The Seated Vitality course is open to anyone who wishes to help others improve their movement. The course will introduce you to a variety of seated exercises alongside the training to deliver these exercises. Designed by Trish Warren, the course has left people ‘eager’ and ‘excited’ to teach people the exercises to improve strength, balance and mobility.
You might find that you want to help a friend, family member or patient. As the course will be aimed at helping less-able or older adults it is also ideal for anyone who works within the care home setting or supported living , enabling you to help the participants to enjoy a more independent and fulfilling lifestyle. The exercises can be enjoyed as a group, allowing people to become more interactive with others.
Delivering the Seated Vitality exercises can be highly beneficial; not just for movement. For example, there is a known, positive correlation between exercise and mental health and wellbeing. Engaging with someone to participate in the exercises can enhance their self-esteem and confidence. As well as this, the exercises delivered by you can increase a person’s mobility, strength and balance and help with factors that older people face, such as the fear of falling.
If you know a group of people or an individual that would benefit from ‘Seated Vitality’ then please don’t hesitate to participate in this interactive course. You could be changing someone’s way of life for the better.
*Age UK Devon offers a comprehensive Seated Vitality Training Package for staff, volunteers and individuals who wish to engage with and support groups of people, or individuals, with compromised mobility to engage in chair based exercises.
