Exercise Groups

Exercise classes can be highly beneficial for people with neurological diagnoses such as brain injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, or stroke. Group exercise offers a variety of benefits that go beyond physical health.
Here are some key advantages:

Neurological & Cognitive Benefits

• Improved neuroplasticity: regular movement stimulates brain function and promotes neural connections
• Better motor control: exercise helps improve coordination, balance, and fine motor skills
• Cognitive function: classes that combine physical and mental tasks can improve memory, attention, and executive function

Physical Benefits

• Increased strength & mobility: reduces muscle stiffness, increases range of motion, and maintains independence
• Improved balance and reduced falls risk: targeted exercises improve stability, a major concern for many neurological conditions
• Cardiovascular health: enhances overall energy and endurance, which may be reduced due to fatigue from the condition

Emotional & Social Benefit

• Mood enhancement: reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety through endorphin release
• Community support: creates social connections and reduces isolation, especially important for individuals with limited mobility or social interaction
• Sense of achievement: builds confidence and fosters a sense of purpose

Heads up run small group exercise classes allowing close supervision and support. We provide an initial 1:1 assessment to ensure that the class is appropriate for your needs.
