Healthy Ageing with Kay

All the exercises I teach are designed for a reason.
These were part of today's lesson with modifications & progressions.
The Sit to Stand, think getting up from the couch, from the breakfast table with ease
The Hinge, think lowering to pick up the washing basket, the potted plant
The Push, think pushing the heavy doors

Visible & Invisible

Epilepsy can be controlled by medicine and lifestyle. These things are true, so the signs of Epilepsy become invisible.
Medication works until it doesn't, and then the scary parts of Epilepsy surfaces again, making it very visible .
In simple terms, this is why Epilepsy is a lifelong condition.

Monday Moves

Mondays start with Mindful Movement & Stretch.

We then add music 🎶 to raise the heart rate & the mood ❤️
Lots of flexibility follows, and then we load the muscles to strengthen the body.

We take from the class the feel good hormones, the giggles & the ability to move at home without injury to the back, the knees or the joints.



Get in touch if you or a loved one would like a home visit to build the correct technique for lifting the washing baskets, the flower pots, and stay injury free

Over 45,000 people in Ireland have an epilepsy diagnosis & there are numerous types of epilepsy. The one we are most familiar with is a Tonic Clonic Seizure & it makes such a difference knowing what to do if you witness someone having a seizure.
The information you gather informs the medical team & staying with the person prevents further damage, especially to the head which you can cushion with your knees, a coat
Let's make Ireland a "seizure-aware" country.
