The 5 Pillars of Living Well with Parkinson’s 

by

The aim is not to pretend Parkinson’s is simple. It is to build a practical, personalised plan that helps you keep doing more of what matters to you. When people think about living well with Parkinson’s, exercise is often the first thing that comes to mind.

Parkinson’s can affect movement, strength, balance, posture, confidence, sleep, communication and participation in daily life. A person may be exercising regularly yet still feel stiffer, less certain on their feet or unsure whether their programme is targeting the changes that matter most.
