Well- being Day was a huge success at the Dutch Pot Lunch and Social Club for the older members in the community. Maria who lives at Ada Court explained how difficult it is to see her GP and welcomed the opportunity from Denise, Zodiac Arts GP referral instructor to give her healthy eating advice

and take her blood pressure reading at the event.

Chair based fitness - Boxing pad work out

As we age and our skin loses elasticity, massage improves blood circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients to nourish, tone, and enhance skin texture.

Therapeutic massage focuses on relaxation, stress relief, and overall wellness.

Sports massage targets muscle recovery, injury prevention, and athletic performance.
