Everybody Health and Leisure's Crewe Lifestyle Centre is set to host free bike therapy classes this April, for people living with Parkinson's Disease.

The registered health and leisure charity will be providing the drop-in event during their weekly Bike Therapy for People Living with Parkinson's dedicated group on Monday 15 April.

Everybody Health and Leisure are the only ones in Cheshire offering Bike Therapy for People Living with Parkinson's, an emerging exercise for people living with the disease.

Everybody Health and Leisure are raising awareness of the support available at Crewe Lifestyle Centre for those living with Parkinson's (Ryan Parker).

The event is a chance for residents, health professionals and local organisations to come along to watch the Bike Therapy for People Living with Parkinson's dedicated group cycling class in action.

People are encouraged to stay for a free tea and coffee and get the chance to speak to the instructor and the Everybody Healthy team for more information about the class.

They can also chat to current participants who take part in the class about the benefits they have noticed since taking part.

Current participants will receive the class free of charge on the day.

Anyone coming to the drop-in event who would like to take part in the classes, will receive a voucher to redeem their first Bike Therapy for People Living with Parkinson's dedicated group cycling class for free.

Senior Manager of health innovation at Everybody Health and Leisure, Donna Williamson, told Nub News: "We are delighted to be raising awareness of the activities available locally to residents at our drop-in event, following World Parkinson's Day.

"Our Bike Therapy for People Living with Parkinson's dedicated group cycling classes have been really popular since we launched in February.

"We want to continue raising awareness of these sessions to support even more people living with Parkinson's. 

"Research shows people with Parkinson's experience significant benefits from pushing pedals on a regular basis.

"It has been shown to reduce motor symptoms by as much 35% and reduce tremor, reduce bradykinesia, reduce rigidity, improve aerobic capacity, improve mood, improve cognitive function and increase joy and social connections."

Classes include riding an indoor stationary bicycle, which has been shown to reduce Parkinson's motor symptoms by as much as 35 per cent.

They are tailored to each individual and cater for all needs and abilities.

Physical activity programme lead at Parkinson's UK, Tim Morton, said: "Being active is one of the best ways to manage Parkinson's symptoms as regular physical activity can improve both long-term physical and mental wellbeing.

"Plus, activities like cycling offer great social opportunities for people with Parkinson's to enjoy being active together."
