live well programme, a partnership was formed between NHS Tayside Physiotherapists and ANGUSalive’s Long Term Conditions Instructors in November 2019. Physiotherapists who had completed PD Warrior Training, delivered an informative presentation to ANGUSalive’s Long Term Conditions Instructors in January 2020 outlining the benefits that physical activity has on people who are in the early stages of Parkinson’s Disease. This was followed by an excellent demonstration of the exercises and principles which have been developed and tailored for Parkinson’s Disease. We are looking forward to following up this project with further training sessions to ensure we can continue providing support to people living with Parkinson’s.
