Supporting mobility is about much more than physical movement. It can help individuals maintain independence, stay engaged in everyday activities and enjoy greater wellbeing. NAPA’s Promoting Mobility and Preventing Falls Toolkit provides Activity Providers and Care Teams with practical guidance and activity ideas to support movement, strength, balance and mobility. From seated exercises and walking programmes to balance activities, strength-building routines and practical falls prevention guidance, the toolkit offers ideas that can be adapted to individual needs, abilities and preferences.
