Exercise program added to dementia cafe
The Rotary Club of Brisbane Water has added an exercise program for participants in its dementia cafe held in the CWA hall in Umina.
"Our Dementia Cafe sessions are always happy times but, recently, they became even more fun when physiotherapists from 6S Physio Ettalong joined us for some wonderful chair exercises," said Rotary club secretary Ms Di Bartok.
"There's nothing like a professional exercise instructor to show seniors the right moves.
"And following the moves was also good exercise for the brain.
"The community-minded physios will be be popping into our cafe once a month, teaching us moves that we can carry on with the rest of the time."
The "DCaf" meets from 10am to noon on the first and third Mondays of the month.
Rotary Brisbane Water volunteers make and serve refreshments and chat to the clients.
