In Good Hands – Physical Exercise
Physical activity for older adults is vital for retaining functionality and independence. Ultimately, it influences health and quality of life, while at the same time instilling feelings of security and confidence and reducing fears of falling. Physical activity is especially helpful for those confined to their homes and inactive. Ayelet Dagan, an expert in the field of health advancement and improving functionality, explains the importance of physical activity and demonstrates useful exercises.
In Good Hands is an eight-part video series providing information, tools, and guiding principles for older people, and their caregivers.
