PD Warrior (Parkinson’s Disease Class)

It is all about re-wiring the brain to send signals to the muscles to improve movement patterns. You may find you are slower at walking, feel off balance, struggle to coordinate properly or struggle to complete tasks around the house. With the correct exercises we can help to improve these movements, improve your balance, walking confidence.

It is a circuit class, the exercises are big and powerful however you are in a safe setting with other people who are experiencing the same or similar symptoms

An initial assessment/appointment is required with our Exercise Physiologist prior to commencing class. 

Ideally a 10 – 12 week program at least, with the option to continue as quality of life management. Participants are all provided with a 10 week challenge booklet to keep track of their home exercises and challenge tasks over the course of the program.
