What is ReGen?

ReGen Parkinson Therapy is an innovative program, developed by the European Parkinson Therapy Centre in collaboration with international researchers, which combines the best neurological physiotherapy techniques with a comprehensive, multilevel approach that focuses on the individual, not just the disease.

This program helps you truly understand Parkinson’s, manage symptoms, and regain independence in everyday activities.

ReGen is updated and monitored by a global team of researchers, physiotherapists, and patients themselves, to ensure increasingly targeted and effective treatment.

This is a flexible one- or two-week program designed to give you concrete and lasting tools that improve your quality of life, teaching you not to fear for your future.

We are pioneers of neurological physiotherapy in Italy

The European Parkinson Therapy Centre, in collaboration with Dr. Becky Farley (USA), has introduced neurological physiotherapy for Parkinson’s, an innovative approach using targeted exercises to improve mobility, balance, and coordination.

Science confirms the results: the “Park-in-Shape” study by Dr. Bas Bloem demonstrated that 30–45 minutes of targeted exercises per day can significantly slow the progression of the disease.

The joy of being together

We have been fighting Parkinson’s for over 20 years

Receiving a Parkinson’s diagnosis changes everything: the fear, the uncertainty, the sense of loneliness are real, and they affect not only the person who is diagnosed, but also those around them.

Alex Reed, our founder, experienced it at first hand. Diagnosed at a young age, he soon discovered how obsolete and distant the way patients were treated.

We believe that no one should feel like a victim: every person can live life fully, facing the condition with hope and without resignation.

In Boario, every guest becomes part of our extended family. We walk together throughout your stay, step by step, to achieve concrete results that improve the quality of your life and that of your loved ones.

Our programs and therapies that can change your life

Tailored to your needs, our programs combine physical, cognitive, and emotional support to help you regain control, improve your well-being, and live fully with Parkinson’s.

Therapy in a Beautiful and Restorative Setting

Our therapeutic holidays take place in a beautiful, peaceful location where patients can fully enjoy the surrounding landscape through guided walks and excursions. These activities are designed in consultation with a regional expert to ensure meaningful and accessible experiences for everyone.

Guests receive a dedicated guidebook, available online through a password-protected area of our website or as a downloadable PDF.

The opportunity to explore the natural beauty of the area is a key part of the therapeutic journey, offering physical and emotional benefits not only for patients, but also for their caregivers.

What they say about us

  • Highly recommend

    I highly recommend the European Parkinson Therapy Center located in Northern Italy, in the spa town of Boario Terme, in a scenic valley of the lake region, at the foot of the Alps.
    Classes were small, 3 to 4 patients plus spouses in attendance, conducted in English, animated by a positive and friendly staff of 7-8 young Italians. One of us was a repeat from last year.
    For each of 6 mornings, in a well-equipped fitness room, I performed 1.5 hour of demanding physical exercises under the watchful eye of the same personal trainer; in the afternoon, we attended 1-2 hours of presentations, one group exercise in meditation and personal counseling in goal setting. Spouses opt for a separate interview.
    Physical tests of gait and balance were performed on days #1 and #6, to motivate us toward continued practice by showing progress after only a few days.
    As a non-profit, it cost less than $800 for 6 days (2 weeks sessions are also available). Additional sessions in psychology and/or neurology counseling and/or massage can be arranged for an extra fee. You can choose your hotel but the Rizzi Aquacharme accross the street is a no brainer at a discounted price + 3 gourmet meals per day plus a 2hr daily access to an indoor spa.
