Client feedback...
“I enjoyed the ESCAPE-pain classes. Livewell and Everyone Active teams are so lovely and helpful. The sessions have helped me to find better ways to manage my back pain through information and ways to exercise."
"There was obvious improvement in strength, balance and confidence around the knees after a few weeks of exercises. This provided the kick start I required to participate in further exercise in my own time."
"The course was excellent, it was holistic, theory as well as practice covered. It was well paced, pitched at the right level, and enjoyable – effective without being over strenuous."
"The sessions provided a gentle variety of exercises, there was support and guidance on good technique and the instructors were informative and helpful."

He shares how his life has changed entirely and how he is 'living proof' the course works.
