AnnotationThe Dao Yin Yang Sheng Gong (Duo Yin) initiative was set up in 1996 to provide safe, effective exercise for frail older people in Jersey, to improve their mobility and reduce their risk of falling. As a person's mobility becomes impaired, falling and fear of falling can have a radical effect on one's independence and quality of life. Duo Yin offered a new opportunity for people at risk, by providing an activity that counters the effects of instability and frailty, and which has shown to be effective. (RH).
