Reconditioning Resource from the Public Health Team
As many of you are aware the Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on our ageing population across Somerset, we have seen not only a peak in deconditioning, but also increased social isolation and loneliness.
To aid both professionals and older people, we have produced a resource, which aims to highlight a range of services and organisations that can be accessed to encourage physical activity both at home and out in the community.
Some of the services will require a referral from a health professional, others are free to attend; however, all groups have the potential to support adults to improve strength and balance leading to improved mobility and the reduction of falls.
