Parkinson’s Exercise Groups

Physical activity is a key element in Parkinson’s disease management. It reduces the impact of disease symptoms, improves cognitive function and has a neuroprotective effect. You can join online Parkinson’s exercise groups in the comfort of your home, or in person with a group near you.
