Making table tennis accessible to everyone in barnet, LONDON
Group table tennis therapy sessions to fight dementia & Parkinson's disease
Table tennis is a great therapy. Regular group sessions in community centres or care homes can be organised. The sessions increase dexterity and motor skills to prevent or slow the progression of dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Tables can be brought and taken away. Sessions can be tailored depending on how active participants are and can be undertaken sitting down if preferred so they are suitable for very active groups and for groups with reduced motor skills. There are many activities that can be included in sessions like rolling the ball, bouncing the ball, throwing the ball, stopping the ball, pushing the ball, hitting the ball, aiming the ball and playing the ball. Sessions length can be tailored for any group.

Stay Strong
Table tennis provides a natural therapy against the ageing process as it improves the function of the brain. It is social and fun which is great for well-being and happiness and it helps combat isolation and loneliness. It is a great sport to take up as it can be played by anyone of any age so you won't need to give it up in later life.

Playing table tennis improves your hand-eye coordination, dexterity, fine motor skills, upper body strength and balance so it reduces the risk of falls. My website has a link to a BBC video showing 90+ year old players playing table tennis. Table tennis can be played sitting down and by wheelchair users so it is truly accessible to all.
