Living Well with Parkinson’s
Pilates for Parkinson’s
Living Well with Parkinson’s is pleased to announce that Pilates sessions for those with Parkinson’s will begin very soon. Pilates is excellent for maintaining and increasing flexibility and core strength.
The classes and the exercises will be adapted to suit the needs of those attending, so you do not need to be able to get onto and off of the floor! The exercises will be able to be undertaken whilst seated or standing (with the most flexible among us being able to use floor as well). The instructor, Marie, has training for delivering Pilates to the less mobile and also has personal experience of Parkinson’s.
Please bring your own mat if you can, but there will be some mats available to borrow.
Please bring a small cushion or pillow with you if you can.
While there is room, Parkinson’s Assistants are welcome to pay and join in, but those with Parkinson’s will take precedence as numbers grow.
Start Date: Thursday 5th November
Time: Doors open 2.45 p.m. session starts 3.00 p.m.
Place: Hanchurch Village Hall, 126 Whitmore Rd, Hanchurch Crossroad, Hanchurch, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Newcastle ST5 4DG
Cost: £7 for each person exercising, including a hot drink and a biscuit afterwards.
The exercise session will last 45 minutes, with refreshments available afterwards.
Welcome to Living Well with Parkinson’s.
We are here to help you live well and hopefully improve your PD symptoms.
Staying active helps to maintain your balance, strength and coordination.
We are a not-for-profit group whose aim is to assist those with Parkinson’s.
It has been clinically proven that exercise can help to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinson’s.
We support a number of activities that meet weekly at different times and in different locations in the city of Stoke-on-Trent.
You do not need to be sporty or wear special clothes to join in. Just comfy shoes and loose fitting clothes. Why not call in and have a go and hopefully you will feel the benefits.
We currently support a gym session, table tennis, ballet, guided exercise sessions and mountain biking.
We are looking for new ideas and are keen to develop other activities and link with other organisations. Please get in touch if you can offer any help.
Keeping active is key.
