More info:

Milly Khan is a Neuro - Physiotherapist who works at Guys and St Thomas' who explained to me how high intensity exercise is really important for Parkinson’s patients.

Research has shown that taking part in regular physical activity can positively impact patients’ symptoms, both physically and mentally.

Milly Khan said: “Physical activity is a really important component of treatment for Parkinson’s, and the condition shouldn’t be a barrier to being physically active.

“It’s important that physical activity sessions contain components of aerobic fitness, strength training, balance and core control, and stretching. You don’t have to challenge these systems all in one go, spread them out throughout the week! We have tried to incorporate all these components in this video and recommend you complete them at your own pace. Physical activity doesn’t necessarily mean attending exercise classes several times a week, it also includes gardening and dancing. It’s important that you challenge your symptoms and you enjoy it.”
