Workshops for Carers’ Series “Balance and Fall Prevention”  “Breathing and coughing techniques” “ Balancing between Physical and Mental health”.

Besides providing a free gym service to the individuals with disabilities and the elderly members of the community, we also provided workshops for carers with various topics such as balance and fall prevention, breathing and coughing techniques, as well as balancing between physical and mental health. Due to inactivity during the pandemic, a lot of elderly as well as the young old had issue with balance and trouble of falling, so fall prevention is always a very important topic to cover. Aside from that, everyone is more aware of their lung function with the current COVID-19 pandemic, so proper breathing and coughing technique is especially useful. We also noticed that emotional wellbeing is increasingly important since the start of the pandemic as we could see the gym members enjoyed socializing with our staff and other members.

We adjusted the number of participants for each workshop due to the current pandemic policy. We had over 100 participants joined the workshops this time. The feedback received were very positive, and a lot of requests of repeating the workshop were made. So as a result, we had arranged a repeated workshop for additional online option in September.
