"I can stand and sit with more confidence and can go up and down stairs better than before. My general movement has improved and many things seem that little bit easier. I can feel a big difference in my balance when dressing and I can now put my trousers on without using support."

"I feel more confident walking around no longer need a stick for balance. I can get off the floor much easier and I can now get in and out of the bath, which I could not do before. I have started to do dancercise and Tai Chi and I am walking my dog twice a day."

"I am able to do activities for longer and can more easily clean my house. Last week I went up a ladder to change a bulb! I have also booked a holiday to Portugal -- this is something that I would not have had the confidence to do before!"

"I can now reverse my car and check my blind spots with ease because I can move a lot better. I have also noticed a big improvement in my walking. I have just started a strength and balance class at Whickham, so will keep going with my exercise."

"I can bend a lot better which helps enormously to wash the bottom half of my body, pick up things, etc. I can also get up and down on the floor easily. I am going to continue with the balance exercises at home and I am a member of two walking groups."

"My balance has now improved and I can stand on one leg to put on my trousers, as I used to have to sit down or lean against a wall before. I have now started Tai Chi and have also gone back to swimming once a week."
