NHS Live Well Advice - Rock Climbing

It's floating around online amongst all my climbing mates, this article basically says, "Climbing's great. Climbing helps you."

http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/fitness/Pages/rock-climbing-health-benefits.aspx

Not much new there to anyone who climbs regularly! It's interesting reading, particularly in connection to the iDID work we do, since there's specific reference to aiding Dyspraxia symptoms.

"Anecdotal evidence suggests climbing works well for people with dyspraxia (a developmental co-ordination disorder) because the environment is stable (especially if using a designated climbing wall) and the individual only has to think about how to move themselves in relation to the environment."
