Movement for Health has decided to withdraw from the X platform. We have taken this position to ensure we do our best to work for our inclusive values, our members and partners as well as our community of practice. We no longer feel that X is the right platform for us to do so.
You can find us on Instagram, BlueSky and LinkedIn @ MovementfHealth we look forward to continuing our Movement for Health with you there.

#DayOfMovement @MovementfHealth in case you missed it, why not make every day your day of movement! This revised Tiered Model of Physical Activity Interventions can help providers, referers, and commissioners to design, target and create the right services for those least active.

Today is Scotland’s National #DayofMovement. And we're talking about how all forms of movement can make you feel good. Particularly people with long-term conditions like Parkinson's. Big or small, all movements are counted. Here's our own @MandoMckay on the benefits of walking.
