Hello,
Over the next few weeks, I will confirm the venues and dates for Christmas lunches – yes it is that time of year. I was collecting for the MS Society yesterday in Morrisons and saw they had a Christmas aisle set up!
While collecting yesterday, I had a lot of people come and tell me how a relative or friend had been impacted by MS. If you have any friends or relatives with MS please tell them about our local MS Society- we have Zoom chair-based classes 2 x per week and face to face chair- based classes 2x month, hydrotherapy 1x per week and lots of social events. It is a very supportive group.
Hip Strength and Stability
This has been a big topic for me this year but hip strength is important for everyone as it is integral for standing up, walking and balance. Here are some good exercises from the Australian Physios:

Chairfit in Euxton starts Tuesday 1 October at 11.15am
We are starting a chair-based exercise class at Euxton Community Centre. Please note the time – later than originally planned. This class is great if, for example, you have arthritis in your knees or hips, you are waiting for or recovering from hip or knee replacements, if you have mobility issues from eg Parkinson’s or MS or you generally want to get stronger and improve your cardiovascular fitness, balance, confidence and coordination.
