I had a stroke. I think Shiatsu is helping.
Take a look below as Mark tells us how he thinks Shiatsu massage is helping him since he had a stroke.
Furthermore suggestions include Dance or Tai Chi are advised for over-65s to reduce falls in old age. Why not try our classes. June, James and Scott are brilliant teachers. They’ve all got a special interest in working with older people like us.
Late, but hopefully not too late, the government are giving us guidance that to stay fit and healthy you need to exercise your muscles and not just your heart.
Do you know that physical activity protects against obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and depression?
My advice is get moving. Take a look at our classes. You just have to turn up. No booking required and you will love the class as well as getting fitter.

What dancing can do for you
‘We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.’ Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
It doesn’t matter if I’m off the beat.
It doesn’t matter if I’m snapping to the rhythm.
It doesn’t matter if I look like a complete goon when I dance.
It is my dance.
It is my moment.
It is mine.
And dance I will.
Try and stop me.
Dan Pearce, Single Dad Laughing
Do you remember dancing? Going out on weekend nights, coming home exhausted but just buzzing. I spent five years of my life dancing most nights of the week and I never felt more alive. I remember saying ‘Who needs sex? This is better than anything.’ Totally exhilarating. It made me feel fit and alive, alert and thrilled with life. I thought it was the secret to life.
Well, now it is official. Research from Coventry University has shown that, as well as getting you fit, which I think we all know that dancing will do, it is also especially good for your brain function.
How come? Probably because it involves getting oxygen pumping around your body and at the same time having to coordinate movements of different parts of your body using the left and right side of your brain. It makes immediate and significant improvements in your brain function.
If you are worried about what ageing is doing to your brain, and who isn’t, why not try our (Slow) Line Dancing classes? You don’t have to have a partner. You don’t have to have experience. You don’t even have to have rhythm. Our line dance teacher, Scott, will make you welcome, teach you the moves, get you moving and you’ll start to reap the benefits.
Want to do something about deteriorating heart and brain function? Let’s dance!
Hoxton Health’s Line Dancing classes are on Wednesdays at 10am at the Britannia Centre, 40 Hyde Road, N1 5JU or 1pm at Pensioner’s Hall, Brougham Road, London E8 4PD.
