Thanks to a generous grant provided by Parkinson’s UK, Life Fit Wellness are running a 12-week study to explore the therapeutic benefits of Nordic Walking for individuals with Parkinson’s disease.
Nordic Walking is a form of physical activity involving specially designed poles to engage upper and lower body muscles. The study will investigate its effects on Parkinson’s symptoms, functional mobility and overall quality of life.
