Parkinson’s Nordic Walking in Rothbury – Jul 2025
Did you know that Nordic Walking is an excellent exercise for people with Parkinson’s? Why not learn to Nordic Walk with the leading Nordic Walking Company in the North East?
Parkinson’s UK Funding
We have recently secured funding from Parkinson’s UK to provide Nordic Walking beginners sessions at the beautiful Rothbury Riverside. With the funding from Parkinson’s UK the cost of a session is £5 per person – which you can pay by cash on the day or by BACS.
What is Nordic Walking?
Nordic Walking is a great low impact all over body workout. However don’t be scared there are no squats, lunges or weights involved.
Beginners to Nordic Walking often have questions about it, so we have tried to answer some of the typical questions that people ask. You can find these in the “Questions” tab above, so why not take a look.
There is also information available on the Parkinson’s UK website – Nordic walking and Parkinson’s | Parkinson’s UK
