A researcher at Northumbria University wants to work with people with Parkinson’s to create a physiotherapy programme. The programme will aim to improve stability when turning and reduce falls, helping to improve mobility for people with Parkinson’s.
The researchers would like your help designing the programme.

Taking part in 3 group workshops at Northumbria University.
• Each workshop will be recorded and last for 2 hours, including comfort breaks
• Workshop 1 will explore problems you have with turning and approaches to turning you find helpful
• Workshop 2 will involve developing the physical activity programme
