I'm looking forward to starting our Chair Chi Plus pilot study next week at an aged care centre located here in Melbourne, Australia.

I'm working with 6 low care and high care aged care residents over 6 weeks, running 3 Chair Chi Plus sessions per week.

The aim of this pilot study is to:
1. Increase Leg Strength
2. Improve Balance
3. Achieve a Cardiovascular Workout
4. Enhance Emotional/Psychological wellbeing

After the pilot study is completed I'll produce a report and publish the findings.

Ideal for lifestyle staff, physiotherapists, carers, volunteers and health trainers, this comprehensive training program teaches how to deliver Chair Chi sessions for low and high care residents in a safe and practical way.

Level One is on the first day and, for your convenience, Level Two is offered on the next day if you are interested.

Onsite training also available.
