PD Fit Exercise classes
Our exercise classes are physiotherapy led and run throughout the week at different times. Prior to joining a class, we complete a one to
one physiotherapy assessment, this is to understand how you as an individual are currently managing, but also to enable us to recommend the most suitable exercise group. We do this to ensure everyone is suitably supported within the sessions and to provide you with someone who truly understands your personal goals.
The exercise classes run at the same time each week, and last for one hour. These classes will include a variety of different types of
exercises, this is all based on current clinical research, and our clinical experience. They are specifically designed for Parkinson’s as we understand this condition and how it can affect individuals. Our team have all undertaken the PD Warrior course, and we have
experience with PWR! As well as a wealth of other clinical experience which helps us provide you with the best exercise for your condition.
The classes will explore different themes to ensure you gain the skills to maintain and improve function and mobility, and prevent other
issues for example posture and balance. Areas covered within the classes: Balance, posture, power, flexibility, strength and mobility.
Our aim is to provide a supportive environment for you to safely exercise but it remains essential for you to complete additional
Parkinson’s specific exercise outside of these classes. If you struggle with this we can provide some direction or further support.
We ask that you wear something you are comfortable to move around in, and sturdy supportive shoes.
Each year we will invite you to an annual review, this is with a physiotherapist and will repeat the baseline measures we took when
we first met you. This helps us to monitor your progress and ensure we are supporting your needs.
