Patients pay tribute to 'knockout' Parkinson's treatment centre
READ MOREA new study launched by English National Ballet and university King’s College London, UK, will assess the impact of ballet on Parkinson’s symptoms.
Researchers hope that regular lessons – which include voice exercises and dance – will improve fluidity, gait and posture in people living with the condition.
The study is part of a wider project, costing in the region of UK £2 million, researching how the arts impacts physical and mental health.
Fleur Derbyshire-Fox, English National Ballet’s Engagement Director, said: “Since creating our Dance for Parkinson’s programme in 2010 we have seen first-hand the incredible effects dance can have on a person living with Parkinson’s.
“We’re thrilled to be a part of this study, with the opportunity to embed the programme within secondary care, and in turn have a greater impact on the physical and emotional wellbeing of people living with Parkinson’s.”
