Physical activity and health
Being active is a great way to not only reduce your risk of being diagnosed with many health conditions but that it can also help positively manage a condition you may have.
"If physical activity were a drug, we would refer to it as a miracle cure, due to the great many illnesses it can prevent and help treat”
- UK Chief Medical Officer, 2019
Being active with a health condition can be daunting for many people, however it can also be one of the best things we can do to prevent on-set or worsening of most conditions.
Whether you are an individual looking for where to start your physical activity journey, or you are a health professional or a community group or club, you can find links to lots of useful information from we can move.
