Ballet lessons, wild swimming, laughter yoga: we've heard of so many fun and quirky ways to get more active. Thanks to Niki for sharing her advice in our latest leaflet, 'The Sweet Zone'.

A photograph of Niki, with the text: “I think it’s about finding something that helps you enjoy moving and helps you fall in love with your body. For me that was adult ballet and cycling.”

As with all things in life, getting more active can be easier if you have a goal in mind ⚽

In our new booklet, Vicky tells us about how focusing on family time has been a huge help. Read her full advice here: https://www.flippinpain.co.uk/app/uploads/2025/02/The-Sweet-Zone-Flippin-Pain-Digital.pdf
A picture of Vicky, with the text: “I have persistent pain in my tailbone, and I’ve been working on teaching my brain that it's safe to sit in all the different positions/seats that I have been avoiding for the past couple of years. As well as working on sitting on the sofa and sitting up straight (instead of leaning forwards), I’m working on being able to go down the slide with my little boy: I want to be able to join in the fun when we go to the park!"
