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.

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.

Da oltre 12 anni sviluppiamo il programma più avanzato con i migliori esperti per aiutarti a vivere meglio con il Parkinson

Ricevere una diagnosi di Parkinson cambia tutto: la paura, l’incertezza, il senso di solitudine sono reali, e non riguardano solo chi è malato, ma anche chi gli sta accanto.

Alex Reed, nostro fondatore, lo ha vissuto sulla propria pelle. Diagnosticato in giovane età, ha presto scoperto quanto fosse obsoleto e degradante il modo in cui i pazienti venivano trattati.

Noi crediamo che nessuno debba sentirsi vittima: ogni persona può vivere pienamente, affrontando la malattia con speranza e senza rassegnarsi.

A Boario, ogni ospite diventa parte della nostra grande famiglia. Camminiamo insieme, passo dopo passo, per ottenere risultati concreti che migliorano la qualità della tua vita e quella dei tuoi cari.

Our programs and therapies that can change your life

Personalizzati sulle tue esigenze, i nostri programmi combinano supporto fisico, cognitivo ed emotivo per aiutarti a riprendere il controllo, migliorare il tuo benessere e vivere pienamente con il Parkinson.

What they say about us

  • My Parkinson Story

    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.

  • Many treatments , one location

    The centre is a very professionally run organisation where many treatments for Parkinsons are offered all in one place, in a uniquely warm and therapeutic environment. There are also talks, groups and support for both PwPs and their families/partners. It gave me time and space and tools to deal with Parkinsons that I felt were sorely lacking back home. I stayed on an extra week as I found it so helpful.
