The Ramsay Health Plus Parkinson’s Disease Program can help you:

• Improve your symptoms and enhance your quality of life.
• Maintain an highest level of physical functioning, at home and in the community.
• Improve your ability to participate in everyday activities such as walking, standing up, doing the shopping, talking and driving.
• Improve your emotional wellbeing and promote your independence.
• Feel empowered to take control and self-manage your condition.

The program has been specially designed for people with Parkinson’s disease or Parkinsonian symptoms who are motivated to take control of their health.

You may be eligible to participate if:

• you have a new diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease
• you are in the early-to-moderate stages of Parkinson’s disease
• you have Parkinsonian symptoms for a reason other than Parkinson’s disease (e.g. permanent medication side effects or another neurological disorder)

Our Parkinson’s Program is a sophisticated combination of physical and mental activities to drive the brain’s ability to re-wire itself. This helps to improve movement efficiency and quality of life.

The program includes three individual assessments and evaluation followed by circuit classes once per week for 10 weeks.

The speech component of the program aims to increase vocal quality and loudness for a voice that is easy for others to hear and understand.

The program includes four individual sessions per week for four weeks.

Our multidisciplinary team will speak to you about treatments most suitable for you.
