Where we began We heard about a group where I could practice my physio movements and have some fun The charity running the group closed our group! I spoke with some friends and thought more people would enjoy what we had been doing and lots of exercise groups are too fast or complicated for me and my friends. And IT HAD TO BE FUN!
