Small movements can make a big difference.

These simple exercises are designed to help improve strength, balance and confidence, and can be practised at home.

Move at your own pace, use a sturdy chair for support and make sure the space around you is clear. Stop if you feel pain, dizziness or discomfort.

Save this video and come back to it whenever you’re ready to move.
