Parkinson’s Table Tennis and Social Group – the third Wednesday of every month 2pm till 4pm.
Table tennis is one of many ways way to help manage my Parkinson’s symptoms. It improves hand-eye coordination, and stimulates mental alertness and concentration, which are all impacted by Parkinson’s.
As table tennis is quite a fast game, there is little time to think. You can only react as the small ball flies at you in a blur. Decisions have to be made in a split second. This makes is fantastic for hand-eye coordination and the movements from side to side, backwards, and forwards. It is also good for balance.
Don't worry if this sounds a bit serious. It’s actually great fun and the social interaction benefits mental health.
