Challenges

The AWACF Physiotherapy team, regularly hold challenges to encourage people to take part in team centred exercise. These challenges are aimed to get patients, family and friends to undertake a certain exercise, to reach a mutual goal.

The challenges are hosted through the Beam platform, where people can share stories and get involved in live classes.
