What is Move More Re-Imagined?
Move More is a falls prevention programme that is now online. It is an evidenced based community, physical activity programme that lasts for 25 weeks. The programme includes an hour of homework and is designed for the prevention of falls. It is created to reduce falls, re-admissions to hospital and build confidence and well-being. It is now being delivered online and it is the technology bit that makes it re-imagined. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 and the restrictions put in place, because it was impossible to deliver it into community settings, we changed the way it was delivered. Rest assured though, it is just as successful online, and the results speak for themselves.
We are worried about those being shielded and in isolation, we know that COVID-19 is having an impact on mental health and frailty, we know we can make a difference and reach more people

The individual sessions are progressive, which means that over 25 weeks, the movements become more challenging and cover seven components of movement, to increase strength and balance;
- Warm up and circulation boost
- Targeted endurance
- Targeted balance
- Targeted strength
- Backward Chaining
- Cool down and Flexibility
- Adapted Tai Chi
- Mindivator

You are not alone
This project is run in collaboration with some amazing partners. The whole project is overlooked and supported by Public Health England and Cornwall Council. AGE UK Cornwall help us with the data and security and we work closely with The Chaos group, Community Physios, Social Prescribers and GP surgeries.
I’m not good at technology!
With the previous success of the Move More programme, iCareiMove are working hard to help others with their digital skills. AGE UK may have spare devices to loan during your time on the programme. We have been helping our clients to get on line and participate in classes. We run test classes to help with issues with connecting and we have volunteers on hand to make this easier. We are also running live sessions on Chaos TV and we share pre-recorded sessions to watch at your convenience.
How can we sign up?
We are looking for people who are unsteady on their feet, may have fallen or have lost confidence, and they may walk with a stick, frame or aid. Do you work with someone who you think could benefit from the programme?
There is a criteria that we honour, we will talk through your health and will assess you. There will be questions around your physical and mental health. At least give us a call and we can go from there.

Since attending this course he has made a lot of improvements. He is a faller (due to his condition). Now when he falls, I don’t panic. He doesn’t panic either. He pauses and then gets himself up. What a difference.
