Power Through Parkinson's

Rovers Revive is an inclusive physical activity programme designed specifically for individuals living with Parkinson’s.

Hosted at the home of Featherstone Rovers RLFC, this initiative provides a welcoming environment where participants can engage in accessible, fun, and engaging rugby-themed sessions aimed at improving mobility, coordination, and overall well-being.

Weekly Physical Activity Sessions – Tailored to the needs of participants, these sessions focus on balance, strength, flexibility, and coordination, all of which are known to help manage Parkinson’s symptoms. 

Using rugby-inspired exercises, drills, and adapted movements, participants will enjoy an engaging, team-based workout that caters to all ability levels. 

Social Opportunities & Refreshments – Following each session, participants are invited to The Foundry, Featherstone Rovers’ community anchor, to relax, connect, and share experiences over refreshments. This helps combat isolation and fosters a strong support network.

Led by Trained Coaches – Sessions are delivered by experienced coaches trained in working with individuals with long-term health conditions, ensuring a safe, supportive, and effective programme.

Impact & Benefits:

• Improves physical health by maintaining mobility, strength, and coordination.
• Boosts mental well-being by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression.
• Encourages social connections, helping to combat loneliness.
• Creates an inclusive and enjoyable space for people with Parkinson’s to stay active and engaged.

By combining physical activity with social support, Rovers Revive offers a unique and engaging way to help people with Parkinson’s improve their quality of life while being part of the Featherstone Rovers community.
