Parkinson’s Exercise Sessions at Bedford MS Therapy Centre
Parkinson’s Exercise Sessions at Bedford MS Therapy Centre
Thanks to support from Parkinson’s UK, we are now able to offer a further Parkinson’s exercise session extending the range of people who can take part. This new level 2 session is specifically designed for people who are able to stand and move while standing, but are unable to exercise standing for a full one hour session. This session is comprised of a combination of seated and standing exercises.
The Centre now offers Parkinson’s exercise classes at 3 levels, ensuring we have sessions appropriate for people with a range of capabilities. All of these sessions include exercises intended to challenge strength, fitness, balance, flexibility and cognition in line with Parkinson’s UK recommendations.
The classes on offer are:
Level 4 – Tuesdays 12:30 to 13:30
Session is for people who can exercise while standing for the full session. Session includes challenging dynamic movement while standing and some exercises performed on mats on the floor.
Level 3 – Wednesdays 13:15 to 14:15
Session is for people who can exercise while standing for the full session. Session includes challenging dynamic movement while standing.
Level 2 – Tuesdays 13:45 to 14:45
Session is for people who can stand and move. Sessions includes a mix of exercises being performed either standing or while seated.
These sessions are included for members, and some are available for non-members for £5 per session.
