Gateshead Fibro Support Group

Walking in nature has many proven health benefits…

- Reduction in stress, anxiety and depression
- Boosting happy endorphins in the brain
- Getting the body moving improves circulation
- Walking with a group helps you meet new people

Fibromyalgia is majorly fuelled by stress anxiety, overwhelm and depression. Social isolation associated with this condition and an inability to move the body without worrying if it’s ’too much’ are also huge detrimental factors. Walking with a group who completely understand your limitations, will put your mind at ease. As a collective community of fibro friends we know the limits you face, so no worries or stress. Even a 10 minute walk helps to calm the nervous system (which is what goes haywire during a flare up) We will not be walking for the full hour. Plenty of rests to reset the body.

Join us on Saturday 30th May for our Nature Walk in Saltwell Park (the quieter side) near the stream.
11am- 12pm
