Residents at our shared accommodation homes enjoyed the benefits of both music and fitness when Physiotherapist Rachael and Therapy Support Officer Gess hosted their group session via Zoom video conferencing.

“The group were so energetic and had a wonderful time” said Rachael. “The benefits of combining both music and fitness was evident on their faces and the energy they each brought to the session. Exercising with friends can be way more motivating and fun.

Gess is a great musician and residents just loved including the music in their session. They all really embraced the technology and are committed to keeping their wellness goals even if it is via Zoom”
