Agenda THE STEP to healthier Geldrop-Mierlo

Staying healthy and vital is not something you do all at once, but by taking small steps. Throughout the year there are activities on the agenda in Geldrop-Mierlo that help you to keep moving, gain new insights and enjoy a healthy life. We do not do this alone, but together with many organizations in our municipality. 

Below we highlight some of the activities happening soon. Will you join us?

Stay safe and fit on the bike longer

Cycling is wonderful and keeps you fit, independent and in contact with others. Especially for seniors there is the course "Keep pedaling and firmly on the pedals". Here you will learn practical tips to keep cycling longer and safer, practice your skills and discover how to enjoy staying in the saddle.

  • When: Tuesday, Sept. 30, 1 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
  • Where: Heuvel Fysiozaal, Grote Bos 8 in Geldrop
  • Cost: free
  • Register: via e-mail Jos.Vermeulen@st-anna.nl or by phone at (06) 12 11 95 14. Please note that there is room for a maximum of 20 participants.

Online parent night: performance pressure in teens

More and more young people are experiencing performance pressure. What does this do to them and how can you as a parent or caregiver help? During an online parent evening, guest speaker Aniek van den Braak (Nederlands Centrum Jeugdgezondheid) gives insight into the causes as well as practical tools to support your teenager.

Fall prevention: stay fit and confident for longer

Do you live in Geldrop or Mierlo, are you 65 years or older and would you like to live independently for longer? Then sign up for the free fall prevention program of Leef! During a meeting you will receive tips on fall risks, posture, footwear and nutrition. Your gait will also be measured with a sensor floor and a physical therapist will discuss whether a follow-up program is appropriate.
