Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainer Exeter

Tom Burridge is the Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainer in Exeter. Tom says – “What separates me from the majority of Exeter personal trainers is my passion to help people exercise who have complex medical conditions. I have worked as a GP Exercise Referral Instructor, BACPR Cardiac Rehabilitation Specialist Instructor and Escape Pain Facilitator in Exeter. This has provided me with hundreds of hours of experience working with many clients with different types of chronic conditions, including: Cardiovascular Disease, Asthma, COPD, Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Joint Replacement, Depression / Stress / Anxiety, Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke.”

Tom understands the importance of helping people remain active whilst ensuring they are not putting themselves under any unnecessary risk. He helps his clients to regain their confidence with exercise allowing them to enjoy a healthier and happier life! He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to supporting his clients as a Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainer in Exeter.

Personal Training for People with Parkinson’s in Exeter

Personal Training can be an incredibly effective tool to help you manage your Parkinson’s and live well with the condition. There is now extensive evidence showing us that the right exercise, nutrition and lifestyle programmes can reduce symptoms, slow progression and make you feel better. Understanding and implementing the right programmes can be extremely difficult. Regular appointments with a properly qualified Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainer in Exeter offer the most effective way to reap the benefits that are available. Your Personal Trainer should have a Parkinson’s specific qualification, relevant experience, full insurance, as well as knowledge of how to work with a multi-disciplinary team (MDT). All members of the National Register of Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainers satisfy these conditions.

The National Register of Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainers

Until recently it has been extremely difficult for people living with Parkinson’s to find a properly qualified personal trainer. The National Register of Parkinson’s Specialist Personal Trainers (NRPSPT) has been created to solve this problem. Set up and run by 4D Life in partnership with Parkinson’s UK, the register recruits, trains and monitors personal trainers to work locally with people with Parkinson’s. We work with CIMSPA to help us ensure all members of the register are Level 3 or 4 qualified Personal Trainers, fully insured, and have completed a Parkinson’s specific training programme prior to inclusion on the register. Tom Burridge is an NRPSPT member in Exeter.
