AN exercise class designed to help to re-program the brain for stroke survivors and people living with Parkinson’s disease will launch in Sandiway this month.
Starting from January 29, there will be two separate classes aimed at stroke survivors and people living with Parkinson’s disease, which will be run by Claire Britton of Trails for All.
Both classes are based around neuroplasticity, which describes the brain’s ability to re-wire itself.
Classes are designed to help each person get the best out of their circumstances.
The classes for people living with Parkinson’s use specific neuroplastic techniques to drive change, and is designed to help slow down and fight Parkinson’s symptoms.
Claire has worked in the health industry for over 15 years now, initially as a complementary therapist but more lately as an exercise and rehab instructor.
She said: “I am extremely excited to be starting these classes as it is something I have wanted to do for some time now
“I became interested in stroke and Parkinson’s after working with people in my Chair-a-size classes and Nordic Walks and noticed how beneficial exercise seemed to be for them and was intrigued enough to start reading up, and then studying, the effects of exercise on these conditions.
“Current research in this field is very exciting and I am delighted to be able to offer such unique classes.”
Based in Sandiway, Claire works throughout Cheshire delivering a range of classes, including chair-based exercise, Nordic walking and laughter therapy.
In 2012 Claire joined forces with Treasure Trails and is responsible for over 30 trails in Cheshire, Merseyside and North Wales.
The classes will begin from Monday, January 29 in St John’s Church Hall, and will run in terms of six weeks.
Class sizes are limited and GP’s consent may be required prior to classes. Training partners are welcome for no extra charge.
