Exercise is a vital component of maintaining overall health and wellbeing. For the general population, regular physical activity is known to improve sleep quality, enhance cardiovascular fitness, support weight management, and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. For individuals living with neurological conditions, exercise plays an even more crucial role; not only in maintaining health but also in managing symptoms and improving functional ability.
Research strongly supports the benefits of exercise in slowing the progression of symptoms in various neurodegenerative conditions. For example, individuals with Parkinson’s disease or MS have been shown to experience improvements in balance, strength, coordination, and mobility with regular physical activity. Exercise also helps to prevent muscle atrophy, improve walking ability, and reduce muscle stiffness and spasticity. Just as importantly, staying active boosts mood, reduces anxiety, and enhances a person’s sense of control and independence.
Individuals with neurological conditions may encounter a range of physical and emotional challenges that impact their ability to exercise effectively, including:
Addressing these challenges requires a tailored and supportive approach to exercise that considers each individual’s capabilities, goals, and limitations.
At PhysioFunction, our team of dedicated exercise professionals are highly experienced in working with individuals living with neurological conditions. We understand that each person is unique, which is why we develop personalised exercise programmes designed to address specific challenges and enhance overall function, fitness, and quality of life.
Within our PFit Studio, we offer one-to-one exercise or personal training sessions for clients with neurological conditions. These sessions focus on various components of health-related fitness, including muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular health, flexibility and posture. The aim is to maximise functional independence and help clients stay active, confident, and empowered.
For those who prefer a more social or flexible approach, we also run a weekly group exercise class via an online platform. Accessible from home this class is tailored to suit all abilities.
If you are already attending physiotherapy at PhysioFunction, your physiotherapist will discuss suitable exercise options and refer you to our PFit team if appropriate.
However, you do not need to be receiving physiotherapy to access our exercise services. You can contact us to book an assessment with one of our team who can advise you of the most suitable service to access including exercise therapy, 1:1 personal training or group sessions.
At PhysioFunction, we are committed to helping you take control of your health and lead an active, fulfilling life.
