PD Warrior:
Are you looking to become a PD Warrior to help get you moving better, more confidently and slow down your symptom progression, keeping you fit and active in your life?
If so, our PD Warrior classes in Milngavie, Newton Mearns and Dunblane, is the best place for you to do this.
So What is PD Warrior?
PD Warrior is an advanced training program tailored specifically for people with Parkinson’s.
This program can be tremendously helpful for people with early-stage Parkinson’s who have less severe symptoms and can slow down the progression of the disease significantly.
However, even people in the later stages of Parkinson’s can benefit from PD Warrior, but it might take a little more effort and time to bring them the results they want.
It’s the most advanced treatment for Parkinson’s to this date, and Simpson Physiotherapy is the only clinic in the Glasgow area that specialises in this program.
We can help you achieve the results you’ve been looking for with an exercise program that is tailored to your specific needs and goals.
The program is built on four key pillars:
- Neuro-active exercise: Engaging in specific exercises that promote brain reorganisation to enhance movement and coordination.
- Education: Providing knowledge about Parkinson’s and strategies to manage symptoms effectively.
- Empowerment: Encouraging individuals to take an active role in their treatment and daily activities.
- Support: Offering a community and resources to assist participants throughout their journey.
How Does PD Warrior Work?
The exercise program is designed to challenge both your brain and body at a level that works for you. It can lead to significant improvements in your Parkinson’s symptoms, from enhancing your walking to boosting your strength, flexibility, and agility.
With that being said, it doesn’t mean we will ask you to do lots of hard exercises that will tire you.
We always give patients exercises that are suitable for them according to their physical abilities, so you can progress at your own pace.
The special exercises that the program uses are designed to slow down the progression of Parkinson’s by using neuroplasticity, which is your brain’s ability to re-organise its routes and connections, leading to more efficient patterns and motor skills improvement.
How Can PD Warrior Improve Your Life?
If you experience some challenges that come with Parkinson’s disease like problems with walking, swallowing, or even turning in bed, then PD Warrior can help you improve some of those abilities.
When you lose your mobility and have to focus and think a lot about simple actions like walking, then you cannot multitask and focus on other things you need to be doing at the same time.
This naturally leads to more discomfort in your life.
PD Warrior can help with those symptoms as it provides dual-task training, so you can return to performing more than just one activity at a time.
It’s been researched and implemented by many specialists who’ve seen amazing results with PD Warrior, and at Simpson Physiotherapy, we’ve seen great improvements in our patients.
Just because you have Parkinson’s doesn’t mean you can’t do things that bring you joy in life. We want to help you, so you can enjoy your life as much as you can.
