Regular physiotherapy sessions are helping care home residents stay active and improve their wellbeing.
Norden House, a care home in Littlehampton, offers fortnightly sessions on-site led by physiotherapist Ben.
The sessions focus on gentle, wheelchair-friendly hand and foot exercises, followed by breathing exercises.
Adriana, activities co-ordinator at Norden House, said: "Physiotherapy for our residents has had such a positive impact on their wellbeing and introduced a very enjoyable morning activity.
"It improves their mobility, in both hands and feet, as well as helping them with their balance."
