Parkinson's

 

People with Parkinson's don't have enough of the chemical dopamine in their brain because some of the nerve cells that make it have stopped working.  Getting as active as you can and staying active is well supported in the research!

Parkinson's UK – lots of local resources from Boxing to Ballet! The charity has invested in new exercise resources for all levels of activity

Parkinson's exercise classes run in St Woolos Hospital and Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr: let your physiotherapist know if you are interested in this option!
