Program details

Proactive Rehabilitation and Health's Adamstown practice offers a specific group program for clients with Parkinson's Disease (PD). This group is limited to 6 participants per Exercise Physiologist to ensure that the specific needs of the individual are met.

This program at Proactive Rehabilitation and Health is focused on an individualised program and progression for each client in a small group setting. This program is not designed as a one size fits all program. This will ensure that all your individual needs and requirements are met.

Regular physical activity that is specifically tailored for clients with PD has been demonstrated to improve gait performance, mobility, balance, core stability, strength, and aerobic activity, thereby reducing disease severity, and sustaining a client's quality of life. Furthermore, exercising at the right intensities can have a neuroprotective effect and slow disease progression for those living with PD.
