Physiotas offers a Parkinson’s Disease Circuit Class, based on scientifically researched specialised exercises to assist with the effective management and treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Our exercise program uses a combination of physical and cognitive activities to drive the brain’s natural ability to rewire itself.

Suitability to join the class is based on a number of criteria and will be determined following assessment with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist.
