Quick Health Check

Try our fun quick health check and see how you fair

Remain standing:

1. Can you balance for 20 seconds on one leg without holding on to anything? Try this on each leg.
2. Can you touch your fingertips together behind your back (one arm from above, one arm from below)?
3. Turn your head as far as comfortable to each side, but don’t hold it there. Can you turn it until your nose is in line with the tip of your shoulder?
4. Bend forward as far as comfortable, keeping your knees straight. Can you touch your toes?
5. Can you bend each knee behind you, one at a time, and touch your bottom with your heel?
6. If you cough, sneeze, jump or laugh with a full bladder, can you avoid any leakage?

Now lay flat on the floor:

1. Stretch your legs out straight and stretch one leg up in the air. Can you reach your leg up vertically without bending the knee?
2. Can you sit straight up from lying down flat on your back, without using your arms?
3. Try sitting with your legs crossed. Can you do this easily?
4. Can you get up from the floor without using your hands at all?
