PD Warrior is our ‘neuro-active’ programme at the Hallamshire Physiotherapy Clinic, designed specifically for anyone with Parkinson’s. Medication helps with symptom relief and general exercise programs will keep you healthy, but neither of them slow the progression of your disease. The recent evidence demonstrates that the right kind of exercise programme is the only way to modify the course of your disease.

What Is Pilates?
Pilates is suitable for everyone – the fit and healthy, the injured, the young and the old.
Joseph Pilates founded Pilates over 80 years ago. He was one of the first to explain imbalance theories within the body & developed his own exercise regime to improve the performance of dancers and gymnasts. His legacy lives on. Pilates continues to evolve and benefit thousands of people every day.
Matwork Pilates consists of 34 original mat-based Pilates exercises. They are designed to correct muscle imbalance by promoting core stability, flexibility, postural and body awareness and endurance. Pilates is a gentle but physical workout that will teach you how to become fully aware of your body, your posture, and your movement patterns. It will improve your strength and muscle tone and leave you feeling relaxed with a sense of wellbeing. Pilates will allow you to recognize incorrect movement patterns, isolate them, and correct them. This makes the discipline invaluable for injury prevention as well as for rehabilitation.
Neurological Pilates combines traditional Pilates movements with functional neurological exercises, making it an excellent form of low impact exercise for people with neurological conditions, e.g. Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis & stroke.
Neurological conditions often lead to weakness, reduce or increased muscle tone and reduced balance.
Neuro Pilates involves a series of exercises designed to increase strength, flexibility, improve posture and body awareness for neurological patients.
Exercises are targeted towards the deep muscles of the core to develop a strong central base for everyday activities such as walking, standing, and reaching.
Pilates also involves strengthening the upper body, particularly around the shoulder girdle and neck, to improve function and posture.
Benefits:
Pilates is a popular form of exercise for people with Multiple Sclerosis, and many current research papers advocate it as a form of rehabilitation to improve posture, strength, flexibility, pain, quality of life, and fatigue.
Pilates is an ideal form of exercise for many post-stroke patients. It is especially effective for balance re-education in addition to re-training specific muscle groups. It is also a perfect way to return to exercise in the community instead of the hospital, socialise with others and increase your confidence. Recent research studies have started to prove that Pilates can help improve walking, balance and quality of life in chronic stroke patients.
The core exercise regimes for people with Parkinson’s Disease work on balance, postural awareness, correction of poor posture, and the control of movement. Modified Pilates focuses on all these aspects, as well as co-ordination, flexibility, muscle strength and concentration. It is perfect for the body and for the mind, even helping you sleep better at night.
Exercise is as important as medication for all stages of Parkinson’s Disease, and Pilates fits into all 3 stages – at diagnosis to compliment your higher intensity and more vigorous exercise, at the maintenance stage to keep you active, and at the complex stage to keep you flexible and functioning independently.

Dorothy came to us hoping to improve her posture, strength and fitness levels, having previously beaten cancer that has unfortunately led to some ongoing problems impacting her levels of function. Despite having a history of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, we have followed the evidence from the LIFTMOR trial that shows heavy strength training is beneficial for bone mineral density and can lead to a greater quality of life. Dorothy has also been regularly joining in with our online strength and conditioning classes and is now able to walk for longer, feels fitter, is having less pain and able to do more! Well done Dorothy!!
