Exercise and Parkinson's

Exercise is good for everyone and is especially important for people with Parkinson's as muscles and joints tend to get stiff and rigid.

Exercise can help you control movements and can keep stress and anxiety levels low.

This section looks at the health benefits of exercise and how to find a local exercise class. It also gives advice on exercising at home and takes a look at research into Parkinson's and exercise.

We support the Your Personal Best campaign to encourage over 55s with a long-term condition to keep active.
