We are delighted to announce that the Yoga for YPI members will resume on September…
The importance of exercise
Following on from the Walk in The Park in September 2024, our nurse zoom topic at the end of September was based around Exercise and its importance of it in the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease.
As always there was great involvement from the group. Members kindly shared some of the exercise links, Irish programmes, classes, and exercise webinars they found helpful and asked our nurses to share them with you all as they have found them personally beneficial.
A tailored approach is recommended so speak to the instructors/service providers prior to commencing.

Parkinson’s Ireland Exercise Chart
Exercise and movement is so important for everyone. The following booklet contains some exercises you can use in the comfort of your own home.
This flexibility exercise chart has been developed and updated by Parkinson’s Ireland.
We would like to thank Gráinne McKeown from Dublin Physiotherapy Clinic for her help in developing the exercises and David Magennis and Helen Stapleton for demonstrating each of the exercises.
These exercises are frequently used as part of a treatment programme for Parkinson’s Disease. Always consult your Chartered Physiotherapist prior to commencing any new exercise programme.
