Why it matters

It's never too late to get stronger.

As we get older we naturally lose muscle, balance and bone strength, but much of that can be slowed and even improved with the right exercise.

Madeleen's healthy ageing programmes are gentle, safe and adapted to you. They focus on the strength and balance you need for everyday life: getting up from a chair, climbing stairs, carrying shopping and playing with the grandchildren.

Who this is for

Adults aged 60 and over
Anyone worried about falls or balance
Osteoporosis and osteopenia
Arthritis and stiff joints
After a hip or knee replacement
People who want to stay active and independent
