PD Warrior is an evidence-based, exercise approach that utilises the principle of neuroplasticity, education and community to support individuals in adopting positive long-term behaviour change. Ideally suited for people with Idiopathic Parkinson’s, in the early stages (1-3), yet can be applied to all. “The PDW programme comprises 10 core exercises, each with a different focus, combining large-amplitude arm and shoulder movements and strength, ballistic and sequential arm movements, trunk rotation, lower-limb and whole-body postural control, leg and lower back strength and integrated whole-body movement sequences.”
