IN IRELAND, one in four people live with a chronic condition – such as heart disease, stroke, respiratory illness, diabetes, or chronic pain. Half of us are overweight or obese, and cancer affects one in three. Chronic health conditions account for 75% of all deaths every year. Limerick faces these same challenges.
To support those living with long-term health conditions, MoveWell was developed by Limerick Sports Partnership. Through a combination of community physical activity programmes, educational initiatives, and upskilling opportunities for professionals, MoveWell highlights the power of physical activity to improve quality of life.
It’s not about pushing limits – it’s about moving in a way that helps you feel better, day by day. Whether it’s walking, light strength work, or building confidence in your body, MoveWell’s safe and social programmes are tailored to your ability, helping you stay active, feel better, and connect with others.
To launch, MoveWell is hosting a free online webinar on Understanding & Managing Chronic Pain on Wednesday 18th June at 6pm, in partnership with Flippin’Pain. Join in to learn about pain, its effects, and how movement can help manage it.
