Qualified professionals always at your side

Dear Director
I am sending you my heartfelt thanks for the beneficial effects that the intensive 1 week program I followed at the European Parkinson Therapy Centre you admininister had on me, both physically as well as mentally. I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease over 15 years ago.

My personal physiotherapist Daniele was able and patient with me – I improved my walking abilities and the back pain I used to suffer each morning disappeared. I opted for the services of a speech therapist and Dr Giacomo Michele Spada was excellent in helping me improve my speech and voice. My nutritionist Dr Paola Guizzardi helped me in producing a good tmetable of nutrition based on the times of my medications intake.
All in all, helped by the fact that i was given a report and a USB with exercises to perform daily helped me to continue the progress achieved.
I urge every Parkinson patient to follow this program at least once a year. I would also like to thank Dr Alex Reed for his excellent presentations and overall directorship of the program. Praise also goes to the receptionist Ms Sara for making the experience unforgettable. Thank you all!

My Parkinson Story
My situation: 70 years old, 8 years since my diagnosis with PD. My first neurologist told me the key to slowing progression was ‘exercise, exercise, exercise’. This I was able to do with positive results but over the past year I struggled and felt I was ‘falling apart’ physically and mentally; whatever I tried did not work.             I realised that I needed help and so booked to visit the European Parkinson’s Centre. Realistically I was just hoping to regain a little flexibility and strength to enable me to exercise more fully. After 2 weeks at the Regen Centre working with the wonderfully caring and expert team there, I can hardly believe the improvement in my fitness, mind-set, positivity, confidence and motivation. I feel that I am ‘me’ again.  To misquote Dante – Regain hope all ye who enter here, I certainly did. My eternal thanks to Alex Reed for having the vision, drive and determination to set up the Centre and to everyone who works so hard to deliver such a beneficial and personalised programme. But it was not just about me; it was life affirming to see how other people attending the Centre, some quite severely limited by the disease, improved markedly.

An added bonus is that the Centre is in such a beautiful part of Italy.
