Nordic Walking

This Nordic walking group is open to all abilities, offering a fun way to exercise and meet new people!

Trish is an experienced instructor and Occupational Therapist with many years of experience of helping people living with Parkinson's and exercise.

Nordic Walking is a valuable exercise tool for people with Parkinson's because of:

• The focus on the correct gait technique.
• The repetitive movements.
• Exposure to outdoor environments to build confidence.
• Cardiovascular and general fitness benefits.
• Increased stability from the use of two poles on the ground.
• Challenging coordination to help build multitasking abilities.
• Improvement in upper limb strength as well as lower limb strength.
• Improves mental health and wellbeing.
• Weight bearing exercise improving bone density.
• The social interaction … and it is FUN!

Please wear sensible, non-slip shoes suitable for walking, and clothing appropriate for the day's weather conditions. Please bring a water bottle.

All equipment is provided.
