Exercise for Balance

Keeping a strong sense of balance is important for everyone as we age, but it is especially important for those with Parkinson’s disease.

According to an article published in the British Medical Journal in 2009:
68% people with Parkinson’s will fall
65% of fallers will experience an injury secondary to their falls,
33% will suffer a fracture
75% of falls will lead to use of a health care service
