All participants will receive the intervention which involves weekly sessions with a physiotherapist and the provision of an activity tracker. The sessions will aim to help motivate participants to be more physically active and identify barriers to physical activity in their environment. The activity tracker will be used to set a steps per day goal for the participant to achieve. The intervention will be assessed for feasibility using aspects of the Bowen Framework. Under this framework the intervention will be evaluated according to different domains: Acceptability: To what extent is a new idea, program, process or measure judged as suitable or satisfying Demand: To what extent is a new idea, program, process, or measure likely to be used Implementation: To what extent can a new program is successfully delivered to intended participants Practicality: To what extent can the program can be carried out with intended participants using existing means, resources, and circumstances Limited efficiency: Does the a new program show promise of being successful with the intended population In order to find out the best way to assess physical function, participants will complete 5 different assessments. The results from these assessments will help to determine the best measure to use in this population.
