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

Time frame

An initial assessment/appointment is required with both our physio Paul Parker and then see our exercise physiologist straight after that appointment on the same day. Allow approximately 1.5 hours for this complete assessment.

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.

Transition Care Program

Transition Care Program (TCP) provides short term care to optimise the functioning and independence of older people after a hospital stay. Transition Care is goal-oriented, time limited and therapy focussed. It provides older people with a package of services that includes low intensity rehabilitation. Physiotherapy is one of these services. It can be provided in either the person’s home or in residential facility setting or both over the duration on the program. The Program allows support to reach their potential and allows more time to make decisions for their long term care options.
