I think the key recommendation in this study is not for those who can do vigorous exercise anyway, but for the 'deconditioned' patients, where 'structured, graduated fitness instruction and guidance' should be offered. This makes sense to me, and I hope that it will come my way. I am about to embark on some physio and when it comes through will also join an exercise class that is nearly all PWP. My Parkinsons nurse is organizing this for me, and I am hopefully organizing to go to a Tai Chi class again myself.

Build gradually, and hope for some health benefits, and take advice if you have other health issues.......... it is not all about the marathon runners and mountain bikers, everyone can do a little to help themselves. Akinesia can be a problem to overcome, but I am sure I am going to feel better doing this.....
