Active Health MAP:
Assess, Strengthen, Move Better
Discover your body's movement potential with Active Health MAP (Mobility Assessment Programme), an innovative, evidence-based approach to understanding and improving how you move your body.
Designed to bring the community together, Active Health MAP assesses and enhances your mobility, stability, and functional movement patterns through fun, interactive activities in a 30-minute session perfect for everyone!
Active Health MAP (Mobility Assessment Programme) features three core components designed to assess and enhance how your body moves:
Mobility: Improves your joints’ ability to move freely and efficiently — essential for daily movement and injury prevention.
Stability: Strengthens your control and balance, helping you stay steady during both simple and complex movements.
Functional Movement Patterns: Evaluates how well your body performs basic movement sequences like bending, twisting, and reaching — the foundation for both sports and daily life.
