General informations and tips by Parkinson's UK: Physical activity and exercise

Physical activity and exercise Whether you have Parkinson's or live with someone who does, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. But being active can help manage Parkinson’s symptoms, and has a positive impact both physically and mentally. How will physical activity and exercise help my Parkinson's? The more physically active you are, the easier it is to live well with Parkinson’s. Physical activity can have a positive impact on your symptoms, both physically and mentally. Being active can be as important as your medication to help you take control and manage your symptoms. Being active for 2.5 hours a week can help manage Parkinson’s symptoms. Get active doing something you love Just like Parkinson’s, the right physical activity is different for everyone. But being active is always most effective when you push yourself. Whatever you do to get active, it’s important to do it regularly. And if you enjoy the physical activity you’re doing, you’re more likely to keep doing it. Find something you love. Find something that makes you feel good.
