Exercise for Parkinson's Diesease

What is Parkinson's?

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that can affect anyone. Parkinson's is the second most common neurological condition and latest research estimates indicates that more than 100,000 Australians are living with Parkinson's. Parkinson's is a complex condition with a wide variety of symptoms. Symptoms start to appear when the brain can't make enough dopamine to control movement properly.

The three main, and commonly recognised syptoms are tremor, slowness of movement and rigidity. There are many other symptoms and researchers are working hard to understand how these all interact.
