We are all becoming very aware of the huge benefits of exercise with PD but where do you start and what do you need to do?
Julie Jones is a very experienced physiotherapist with a specialist interest in Parkinson’s and so is perfectly qualified to guide PwP to get more active and feel the benefits of exercise. This is an excellent and natural follow-up to the presentation by Prof Bas Bloem, also with No Siver Bullet & also available on their channel and highly recommended if you have not watched it.
In this recording, Julie covers:-
When should you start exercising and how do you start exercising?
What exercise people with Parkinson's should engage in?
What can you do to keep active?
