Explore resources, hints, tips and materials to help you get active and feel more energised with Parkinson's.
Parkinson's UK Resources
Our Being Active with Parkinson's guide gives you more advice and helpful tips about starting your physical activity journey and how you can stay active.
Our YouTube playlist has a wide range of videos to help you get started on your active journey, as well as workouts, helpful hints and top tips.
Staying active when you have Parkinson's doesn't mean you have to go to the gym, you can do plenty of physical activities from home.
Falls prevention
Being active with Parkinson's can help reduce the risk of falls by improving balance and coordination.
However, it's important to consider steps you can take to reduce the risk of falls before you start being active.
If you need advice, speak to your GP about the best ways to reduce the risk of falls.
