Our Exercise Right and Rehab (ERRS) team are pleased to commence a group class that will assist our clients with Parkinson’s disease (PD).

‍

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a neurological condition characterised by four principal motor symptoms:

• Tremor (shaking)
• Muscle rigidity (stiffness)
• Bradykinesia (slowness of movement)
• Postural instability (balance issues and falls)

It is currently the fastest-growing neurological disorder worldwide, with up to 50 Australians receiving a diagnosis each day.

‍

At ERRS, we acknowledge the impact that this condition has on the lives of individuals and their families. Recognising the critical role of exercise in managing PD and MD, we have developed a specialised program - PD Fight Club. This program is designed to be safe, accessible, and beneficial for individuals at all levels and stages of PD, aiming to enhance balance, mobility, and strength for daily activities.

‍

Exercising in a group has been found to have better outcomes for patients including ensuring safety, enhancing support, motivation, brain development, and mood. Our group classes are small, inclusive and fun!

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with PD or a movement disorder (MD), there's good news. Exercise Right & Rehab (ERRS) is a purpose-built health hub for individuals with medical conditions which affect movement.

‍

Endorsed by Parkinson's Australia, Exercise Physiology (EP) is recognised as the ideal profession to lead your rehabilitation journey. Our dedicated team of EP’s are experts in tailoring a rehabilitation program to meet your specific needs. Our goal is to ensure that each person receives the personalised support and guidance they need to navigate their path to improved mobility and quality of life
