Want to be more active?
Just like Parkinson’s, the right physical activity is different for everyone. But being active is always most effective when you push yourself. Whether that’s playing tennis for an hour. Taking a long walk with the dog. Or practising everyday movements, like walking up the stairs.
For tips and advice about how to start being active with Parkinson’s, visit our physical activity page to get started.
Or search for a class, club or activity below near you.
Find an activity or class near you
Make new friends or meet up with old friends. Whatever it is that gets you moving, it’s good for your health and happiness. And it’s a great excuse for cuppa and a catch up after! However you want to get active, find something that works for you.
