Getting Active

Getting active is one of the most important things that anyone can do to improve their overall health and wellbeing.

It doesn't have to mean going to the gym or attending classes at a leisure centre. The emphasis is on moving regularly and often in order to exert yourself, which could include everyday tasks such as housework or walking.

For people with disabilities caused by thalidomide increased physical activity can be challenging.

Here we show the benefits of getting active and how to go about this. In addition we share the summary of our recent research project into promoting physical activity for thalidomide survivors.
