Our evidence-based approach highlights the importance of exercise in Parkinson's physiotherapy management, incorporating neuroprotection training early on. 

Exercise, including aerobic activities and strength training against external resistance, has been proven to slow down motor skill degeneration and improve overall quality of life. Furthermore, our innovative dual-task training addresses the specific challenges of multitasking, improving gait, balance, and cognition.


Additionally, we explore promising interventions such as music-based movement therapy, combining cognitive movement strategies, cueing techniques, balance exercises, and physical activity. This holistic approach, emphasising enjoyment in movement, offers a unique and patient-centric alternative to standard exercises.
