Nordic Walking can have many benefits for people living with Parkinson’s but symptoms of the condition mean that it is not appropriate to teach the full INWA 10-Step Method. In order to successfully teach Nordic Walking to people living with Parkinson’s you need to understand what modifications are appropriate to take a person-centred approach.
This course will give you an understanding of:
- Different types Parkinson’s and related conditions.
- The symptoms and how they can affect the individual.
- The role of physical activity in managing symptoms.
- How Nordic Walking can have a beneficial impact on symptoms such as changes in gait pattern.
- How to test the individual’s capability in order to measure improvement.

You will also qualify to have a directory entry on a new website that is being developed specifically for Nordic Walking and Parkinson’s. We will notify you about how to do this.
