“I had a stroke two years ago and was referred to PosAbility by the physiotherapist at the Princess of Wales Hospital, Ely. I enjoy the class as it gives me the opportunity to exercise and to interact with other people. The staff who take our classes are very caring and very well trained, I also enjoy the memory and quiz games. Everyone is very friendly.”

PosAbility runs chair-based exercise (CBE) groups for people living with long-term illnesses including, but not limited to, strokes, Parkinson’s, neurological conditions, multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy. All groups offer professional and effective programmes plus some 1:1 support.
What to expect
Sessions are friendly, welcoming and informal. You don’t need to book ahead – just turn up in comfortable clothes. Wheelchair users are welcome.
No-one will expect you to do more than you feel comfortable with – instructors are there to support and encourage you to feel safe and confident. Each session ends with time for refreshments and chat during which there may be a short quiz or games to work on hand strength and dexterity.
Venues are fully wheelchair accessible and have parking on site. Ely and Soham carparks can get full, in which case there is space on-street immediately outside both venues. At Ely Larkfield Centre, follow the path on the left to the entrance at the rear of the building.
If you are not sure that a session will be suitable for you, you can talk to a member of the team beforehand.
To find out more about when and where sessions take place, visit the website.
If you’d like a free taster session, contact PosAbility who’ll be happy to help.
There is a charge for each session.
