AGILE has put together this resource to enable physiotherapists to look up information about Parkinson's and management of people with the condition.
The suggested resources are to complement and not replace searches on databases for specific areas of interest, journal articles and face-to-face courses where both practical skills can be gained, as well as networking with other physiotherapists.
The resource will be reviewed as new information, or updates become available.
