For people living with dementia, keeping active can be increasingly difficult as the condition progresses. If you, or someone you know, experiences dementia, you’ll know that the possibility of a fall can cause real concern.
The Brain Charity’s Music Makes Us! Move workshops provide integrated exercises beneficial for agility and mobility, packaged as fun, simple and engaging dance routines set to popular songs from the past.
By doing these exercises, participants can:
- Maintain balance and flexibility
- Minimise the risk of trips and falls in the future
- Retain independence for as long as possible
- Improve mood and reduce anxiety
- Activate multiple parts of the brain – increasing neuroplasticity
- Enjoy social engagement
- Flood the body with feel-good chemicals, boosting mood
The Brain Charity also provides speech and language therapy via singing classes – find out more here.
