CAN-Move

16/04/2026

Nice morning spent once again in the Wellbeing garden at RHS Garden Bridgewater.This area is closed off just for us,for our sessions here .One group member described it as ‘an oasis of calm’ 🙏🌿🌸

Gardening can be a full body work out💪🏻!
We always do lots of functional movements in these sessions- (movements which mimic activities we do in daily life,which can help to maintain muscle mass,which can in turn help with treatment side effects,such as cancer related fatigue.Some of these movements include:

Pushing and pulling-Raking,and using a wheelbarrow engages the shoulders, back, and arms!

Reaching and twisting -Pruning and planting require flexibility and strength!

Squats and Lunges-Essential for planting, weeding, and working close to the ground, which engages legs and core muscles!

Last Friday afternoon some of our CAN-Move clients tried something a little different to their usual exercise sessions with us !A relaxing sound bath meditation delivered by Louise from Utopia Wellbeing 🙏✨

A gorgeous session aiming to promote stillness and calm and allow the body and mind to relax, restore, reset, and rebalance through listening and focusing on sounds for example from, singing bowls,gongs and other instruments and music 🎼
