What exercise should someone with Parkinson's do?

The easy answer to this is any exercise will have some benefit for a person with Parkinson’s. The focus should be on enjoyment. If people don’t like what they are doing, they will be less likely to do it.

There are many different types of exercise, and the information can be overwhelming. This guidance will help you navigate different opinions and signpost people towards the exercises that will benefit their

individual needs. View or download here:

Living with Advanced Parkinson’s

Each person with Parkinson’s presents with their own symptoms, and the progression of those symptoms will be at a rate unique to you. This can change day to day.

The advanced stage of Parkinson’s is when your symptoms start to have a greater effect on your day-to-day life and activities of daily living (ADLs). This can make life more challenging and you may need assistance. I have been working with a dear friend of mine who is now in this situation.

Each day seems to bring a new and different set of challenges, so it is not easy to remember which techniques we use for specific problems.

I thought a brief self-help guide would be useful for him and I hope it will help others too so we created one. In this booklet you will find some useful tips to help you with the ADLs that you may be struggling with. Download the booklet below for free.
