Enriching Ageing with Music and Movement + Exercise Ball

Active ageing can be defined in numerous ways – sustaining healthy bodies, active minds, and also leading fulfilling lives. Prof Linda Lin from the National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) has been researching on bone health since a decade ago, to discover ways to stimulate the bones and muscles through vibration for the senior generation. Ever since the initiation of the Drum Music Therapy, over hundreds of seniors would gather to drum and enjoy music collectively, where friendships are forged, and lives are enriched. Follow Prof Lin in her journey to transform active ageing for the better.
