World Parkinson’s Day 2022

Today is World Parkinson’s Day. Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects 1 in every 308 Australians, PD has a higher incidence in men than in women and is more prevalent than most cancers, increasing threefold after the age of 65. PD is the most common major movement disorder in Australia.

Massage has been shown to help relieve muscle stiffness and reduce rigidity, spasms and tremors with measurable improvements in people living with Parkinson’s.

We’re donating $10 from every massage during the month of April to Parkinson’s Australia to help fund research into the cause, treatment and impacts of Parkinson’s. Visit our booking site https://theathletesguild.square.site/ to make an appointment today!
