The Falls and Respiratory Teams (we don't use acronyms!) contribution to the Shrewsbury Ark and Food Bank in place of exchanging Christmas cards. So much more satisfying and a lot greener too! #MerryChristmas

Good posture is important because it helps your body function at a good speed. It promotes movement efficiency and endurance and contributes to an overall feeling of well being. #properposturepreventspoorperformance Shrewsbury, Wem and Oswestry classes looking good this week

Hats off to Ditton Priors medical practice for being the first surgery to confirm they have displayed our #fallsawarenessweek poster (it is on the TV Health screen). Every medical practice in Shropshire has received one so hopefully all of them will put it up.

My favourite of the week. Not technically correct but a HUGE improvement from the start when Jack needed help from 2 people. Jack came to the last few weeks with a big smile on his face and is determined to carry on exercising in the community #gojackgo #soproudoftheeffort
