Exercise is important for people with Parkinson’s because it can help with physical and mental health, and may even slow down the progression of the disease. It is an essential component to maintaining balance, mobility and daily living activities, as well as a potential neuroprotective benefit. There is a growing consensus among researchers about the short and long-term benefits of exercise for people with PD.

There are over 40 symptoms of Parkinson’s from tremor, muscle pain, freezing or stiffness, to major sleep problems, speech and writing changes, plus mental health issues to name a few.
Everyone’s experience is different and everyone is on a different cocktail of drugs to help their symptoms.
