Research is so pivotal in progress against Parkinson’s.

It's Black History Month and today we'll be shedding light onto the correlation between Parkinson's and the Black African community.

Parkinson’s affects around 145,000 people in the UK, of all ages, genders and ethnicities. But the majority of Parkinson’s research has only included people from white European backgrounds.

To help address this, a global collaboration of researchers from Nigeria, the UK and the US, developed a study that would look specifically at the DNA of people of African descent.

We need to make sure that people of all backgrounds and ethnicities are involved in research right from the start to make sure we don't miss vital information that will help us develop better treatments, care and services for everyone living with the condition.

So proud of this inspirational young lady who keeps pushing the boundaries with a smile along the way. We were meant to be practising how to fall without injury but she just cant help her inner gymnast coming out. , ,

So much exciting work going on in the world of research for people living with Parkinson’s 👏👏

Research news 📣

Early research shows transplanting gut bacteria from healthy individuals to people with Parkinson’s, called a faecal microbiota transplant, is safe and may ease motor symptoms.

, a time for reflection. Knowledge and understanding of Parkinson’s has come a long way in 200+ years. I’m passionate that the protective and restorative effects of exercise for people living with Parkinson’s is made accessible to all.

It’s been a pleasure and privilege to witness the benefits of aquatic exercise first hand at our weekly group. Anyone interested… give us a call… it’s free to try for the first 3 weeks thanks to Parkinson's UK. 💙

Thoroughly enjoying this time of year for rehab. Whether it is just working towards getting out in the garden, digging the allotment or running through the park, it feels great when spring is in the air!

It’s been another great week, seeing this lady make great strides (pun completely intended!) towards her long term goal of returning to running. Thanks to Happy Tiddlers for the use of their fabulous pool, it’s always such a pleasure to access the water for rehab.

Thank you to the Bedford Parkinson’s group for inviting me to present about the benefits of exercise today. It was a pleasure to be there with a very enthusiastic and welcoming audience, , ,
