Exercise is good for you. It’s especially good for you if you have Parkinson’s.

Whether you have Parkinson’s or live with someone who does, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. With Parkinson’s, the best exercise depends on the way it affects you.

Here are 3 things that the national charity, Parkinson's UK know about exercise and Parkinson’s:

✨ Doing 2.5 hours of exercise throughout the week can slow the progression of your symptoms.
✨ Exercise can help you manage physical symptoms and other symptoms such as sleep problems, fatigue, mood and mental health.
✨ Exercise can be as important as your medication to help you take control and manage your symptoms.

Whether you exercise at home or in a more formal setting like a group exercise class, keeping active is important for your physical and mental wellbeing.
