Living With Parkinson’s? Make a Good Move Now!

If you’re newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, you probably feel like that’s it for you and good moves. That your days of both moving well and making good moves in life, are done and in the past.

Well, we’re here to tell you that is not true. You can still live well. You can be happy. Obviously, there are adjustments you’ll need to make, and these will change over time. But you don’t have to deal with everything the future might hold all at once. In fact, all any of us have is here right now in this moment. 

We hear the words ‘degenerative, incurable’ a lot. But there is no need to focus on them. And Parkinson’s affects all of us differently. There is no way to predict how things will turn out for you, so why even try? 

There are a lot of things that you can do that are smart and can produce good results for you in your life. This is the definition of a Good Move.

Living Well

Good Moves is about living well. We want to share our knowledge and experience we’ve developed from living with Parkinson’s Disease, and the things that have helped us in our quest to live good lives. We’re interested in connecting people with information, services and helpful others (individuals and organisations). We want to tell you about ways you can help improve your movement, deal with anxiety and depression, find and access exercise classes, or just talk to someone who knows what it is like. We are keen to develop networks of peer support, promote positive stories of people living with Parkinson’s who are living well, exchange knowledge about good moves to make, and foster hope in our community.

Free Membership!

There are no pre-requisites to getting involved or talking to us. You don’t have to be a certain gender or age; you don’t even have to have Parkinson’s or be living with Parkinson’s. We are not patients and we won’t treat you as a patient. This isn’t a medical service. We are all just people with unique sets of challenges, trying to get along and engage in this able-orientated world.

We’re Here

If you’ve been looking around to find people like yourself, and all the images of carers and caring, hospitals, doctors, and disease is not what you are looking for – give us a shout! We understand.

You are about life, and need to focus on living it. Living with Parkinson’s can be daunting but we can help. Good Moves will help you shine some light into those dark places, 

If any of this gives you that a lovely warm glow of ‘They Get It!’, please get in touch! Fill in our form, sign up to our mailing list. We’d love to talk.
