ABSTRACT

Adults as well as children need as many outlets for body-movement as possible and people will see that a lot of the warm-ups and games are very physical. Some people have limitations because of physical illnesses, others are influenced by the medication they are taking, still more have a fear of movement because they are worried about their balance. Make sure that individual people do not have a restriction on their movement because of a medical condition. Many people complain that they cannot sleep well. There are many reasons why people cannot finally 'drop off'. Maybe they are new to the hospital or home and it is all a bit strange, maybe they are used to being alert for partners and children. Some people find that worries about finances, or changes, or illnesses keep them awake until the small hours of the morning. As before, bring people slowly out of the relaxation and into an awareness of the room.
