Armchair sports have amazing physical and mental health benefits for people with limited mobility or recovering from injury. It improves strength, balance and flexibility in a safe and effected way to maintain residents fitness in the home.
Exercise is an integral part of our activities program at Freshford for this reason 🙂
Residents participated in a game of Armchair football, they got a little competitive but everyone had a lot of fun!
We started with a warm up of throwing, catching and kicking the ball back and forth. The residents then got split into 2 teams and had to score as many goals as possible. Tony scored an impressive 5 goals! ⚽
We ended the session with a penalty shoot out. Keith W volunteered to go in goal (He made some impressive saves) and everyone gave it their best shot!
They all enjoyed some lovely refreshments to wind down after. 🥤
