Benefits of Specialised Exercise for Neurological Conditions

Regular, tailored exercise has proven benefits for people living with Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and other neurological conditions. Our Blenheim-based class provides a safe space to maintain and improve your physical wellbeing.

Why join our specialised exercise group:

  • Improved mobility: Regular movement helps maintain joint flexibility and range of motion
  • Better balance and stability: Targeted exercises reduce fall risk and build confidence
  • Enhanced breathing: Breathing exercises help manage stress and improve lung capacity
  • Posture support: Strengthening core muscles helps maintain proper alignment
  • Social connection: Exercise in a supportive group environment with others who understand your journey

Our seated exercise format ensures accessibility for participants with varying mobility levels, while standing options are available for those who feel steady on their feet. All exercises are designed to be adaptable, allowing you to work at your own pace and comfort level.

Research shows that consistent, appropriate exercise can help manage symptoms, potentially slow progression, and improve quality of life for people with Parkinson's disease and Multiple Sclerosis. Beyond the physical benefits, our class offers a chance to connect with others facing similar challenges in a positive, encouraging environment.

Join us at the Blenheim Bowling Club and take a proactive step in managing your neurological condition. No special equipment or prior experience necessary - just bring yourself and a willingness to move in a way that feels good for your body.
