We're partnering with Oxford Mindfulness Foundation
We're partnering with Oxford Mindfulness to help people living with Parkinson's across the UK get access to physical activity, wellbeing and mindfulness resources.
Oxford Mindfulness Foundation offers a range of resources, tools and support to help people living with Parkinson's enjoy an active lifestyle.
We're partnering with the organisation to offer a wider range of wellbeing and mindfulness services for the Parkinson's community across the UK.
The partnership includes further development of the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation app, which now features a dedicated section for people with Parkinson's. It also includes a guide with top tips on the best ways to improve your wellbeing and an awareness course for people living with the condition.
The partnership won't just support people with Parkinson's, anyone with a connection to the condition will be able to access support and guidance to help them improve their wellbeing.
Research studies into mindfulness programmes have shown that with regular practice, symptoms such as anxiety and depression can be greatly reduced for people living with Parkinson's. Research has also found that mindfulness practices can improve many of the cognitive symptoms and motor skills associated with the condition, including strength, balance, muscle stiffness and coordination.
Our new partnership is part of a long-term programme to learn from the Parkinson's community and identify how more mindfulness tools and support services can be developed in the future.
