Parkinsons TT

Officially the best exercise for the brain and good fun too. So give it a try, especially those with a Parkinsonism diagnosis.

[Parkinsons TT @PDTTUK]

Another opportunity for people near #Leeds to attend a #TableTennis exercise therapy session. Well done @ParkyBoy4 and everyone involved in making this so for those living with #parkinsons

More research that intensity of physical activity is key to better mental health/ symptoms, and recommended >150 mins per week.

[Julie Jones @julie_physio]

Hot of the press, a new article where moderate intensity physical activity was associated with better global cognition, visuospatial function, memory, and executive function. No impact on cognition shown with low intensity activity. @ParkinsonsEN
