MOBILITY MATTERS

Supporting Mobility Improves Lifestyle Enjoyment
Light up your longevity!
Falls & injury prevention starts with improvement in mobility, posture and balance. This 5 session education brings awareness, tools and a confidence in daily life.
Mobility is NOT fitness - accessing all the available joints in your body, postural strength & moving multi-directionally is heal-thy mobility. Being aware & knowing HOW to do this is rare. BUT it is simple with APT’s Mobility Course

"The SMILE series of classes has helped me to understand all the different areas of my body that will benefit from simple movement routines, from my toes to my neck. Brilliantly put together and I can highly recommend this to everyone"

A mobility legend since it's inception
SMILE face to face - Oct 2024
As a member of Mobility Matter online since its inception, I was delighted when Andrea told me about SMILE.
COVID made us experts on zoom use, but how wonderful to be together in a spacious room with REAL people!
The four sessions so far have underlined the joy that my mobility brings me, and the necessity of continuing with the varied and comprehensive workout that Andrea presents. I know I am doing myself a huge favour everytime I attend!

'The SMILE classes reminded me of the importance of consistency, practising everyday for a few minutes keeps my mobility on track, so easy to let drift, so hard to get back. It was also a reminder to accept where I am now and go forwards from there, not look back.'

“Mobility Matters is designed to keep mobile without expecting us to feel the burn or get up and down off the floor. When I lose my movement way, you shine the light that helps me find my path.

“I did enjoy the session and all your fantastic information about mobility and posture tips. Your focus on feet was wonderful, I really can’t pick out any one thing, as everything was so useful and beneficial. Am looking forward to next time.

Mobility Matters in a nutshell
“A mindset that accepts where you are right NOW, isn’t living in your former self or body of the past and is open to patiently learn and implement daily gradual and incremental movement into the body, to regain mobility. Creating a person who moves more freely & effortlessly, with less or no pain and is a happier, more independent person.”
