Bristol fitness expert offers free exercise for Parkinson’s
Anne said she first noticed something was wrong with her when she started to get cramps in her hands and she started to have difficulty walking without feeling stiff.
“I was sent for a brain scan and, as a result of that, they diagnosed Parkinson’s disease,” she said.
She said exercising and meeting others in the same position had helped her.
“I find exercising with other people helps as you don’t feel quite as isolated, you meet people with the same condition,” she said.
“I wouldn’t have done what I do now, or met the people I met now, if it wasn’t for the diagnosis.”
She said her son was “so enthusiastic” about everything he does.
“He certainly gets a lot of good remarks from people with Parkinson’s who feel they are dong something for themselves,” she said.
