EXERCISE & PARKINSON’S 🧠💪

As part of my Master’s research, I had the opportunity to coach a man living with young-onset Parkinson’s.

This wasn’t about simply giving him a gym programme.

We began with a full assessment of his individual needs, physical capabilities and personal goals. From there, I designed a programme specifically for him, with regular reassessment throughout. As his performance changed, the exercises were modified and progressed accordingly.

That individualised approach matters.

Parkinson’s UK highlights strong evidence supporting physical activity for people with Parkinson’s. A major review of more than 150 studies involving over 7,000 people found physical activity can benefit movement and quality of life. Parkinson’s UK also emphasises that there is no one-size-fits-all approach — exercise should reflect how Parkinson’s affects the individual. (Parkinson’s UK)

More recently, Parkinson’s UK has stressed the importance of professionals being able to prescribe and deliver exercise programmes tailored to individual needs. (Parkinson’s UK)

Assess. Prescribe. Reassess. Adapt. Progress.

Exercise isn’t just about getting stronger — for people living with Parkinson’s, it can be an important part of managing symptoms and maintaining function, independence and quality of life.

Neuroplasticity isn’t just about what you practise — dose matters too. 🧠

For the brain to relearn a skill, it needs enough meaningful practice to drive adaptation. This is why neurological rehabilitation often involves a much higher volume of purposeful movement than people expect.

Repetition gives the brain more opportunities to learn.

🧠 Want to understand more about neurological recovery?

We’re starting a new Neuro Knowledge Series, breaking down the science behind neurological rehabilitation into clear, easy-to-understand information.

Ideal for people living with the effects of stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s, MS or other neurological conditions — and for their families too.

💚 The NeuroRecovery Programme is coming soon to Workington.

Follow us for the full Neuro Knowledge Series and updates as we get closer to launch.

From research to real-world rehabilitation. 🧠💜

As part of my Master’s dissertation, I worked with a gentleman living with Parkinson’s disease in the gym for 17 weeks, focusing on functional strength, power, postural stability and unilateral control.

The improvements seen weren’t just on paper. They reflected meaningful changes in movement, confidence and overall wellbeing.

This project is one of the reasons I’m passionate about bringing specialist neurological rehabilitation to Cumbria.

Parkinson’s is progressive, but progress is still possible.
