Benefits of Specialised Exercise for Parkinson's

Regular exercise specifically designed for people with Parkinson's disease can significantly improve quality of life and help manage symptoms. The SuperCue choreographed approach offers unique advantages:

  • Improved motor function: Targeted movements help enhance coordination and reduce freezing episodes
  • Cognitive stimulation: Combined physical and mental exercises strengthen neural pathways
  • Social connection: Group format provides valuable community support
  • Enhanced balance: Specific exercises reduce fall risk and improve stability

The class structure incorporates evidence-based techniques that address the specific challenges faced by people with Parkinson's. Each session is carefully designed to be accessible while providing appropriate challenges regardless of your mobility level.

The supportive environment at St Marys Anglican Church creates a comfortable space for participants to progress at their own pace. Morning tea following the class offers a valuable opportunity to connect with others sharing similar experiences.
