Having a robust exercise and physical activity plan is important for everyone, and for those with Parkinson's it can help to improve motor function, strength, balance, and coordination which can all be adversely affected by the disease.
Exercise can help manage symptoms such as stiffness and tremors, enhance overall mobility, whilst promoting a sense of wellbeing.
Additionally, exercise has been shown to help combat psychological challenges associated with Parkinson’s such as depression by releasing endorphins and boosting cognitive function.
It is also evidenced in current literature that regular physical activity can elicit a neuroprotective effect and help slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease.
