Your not in this alone, there is a positive and connected community awaiting for you to join
Unlocking Parkinson’s was created not only to help people manage such a challenging condition, but to create a sense of community which allows positivity to shine through all it’s members.
There are around 145,000 people in the UK who are living with Parkinson’s and estimated 10 million people worldwide and more are being diagnosed by the day. It is currently, the fastest grown, neurological disorder in the world with no cure.
Our aim is to explore the possibility of a new manual therapy treatment which is completely natural, safe, not drug related and you can do it yourself! Through the use of neuromuscular activations, known as ‘Be Activated’ created by South African physiotherapist Douglas Heel, we are able to access the nervous system and those stubborn neural pathways which have ‘lost their way’, and facilitate changes that we never thought were possible.
“No other treatment has given me such pain relief even though I have had lengthy and very expensive courses throughout my adult life.
I cannot praise this treatment highly enough. I arrived in the new Forest with backache, a completely rigid ankle and very tight muscles in my whole body. I left still with Parkinson’s but with a new belief that I can fight the symptoms with something other than drugs.
