Free Fitness for Parkinson’s Patients

from Bristol News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A pioneering exercise specialist is offering free fitness classes for Parkinson’s patients at Southmead Hospital, driven by his mother’s diagnosis six years ago. With 170,000 people in the UK living with Parkinson’s—a progressive condition that affects movement and independence—he’s proving exercise is the most powerful tool to slow decline, boost mood, and combat isolation. His mom Anne’s journey, starting with cramps and stiffness, shows how movement and community rebuild confidence. NHS-backed research confirms exercise relieves stiffness, reduces stress, and empowers patients to feel stronger than ever. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
