PD Warrior
PD Warrior is the original evidence-based, neuroactive exercise program designed to help people with Parkinson’s live their best life.
Developed by specialist physiotherapists, PD Warrior combines high effort, skill-based exercise with education, motivation and community support. The program is grounded in the science of neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to rewire and adapt. Through the signature 10 Week Challenge and ongoing classes, PD Warrior empowers people with Parkinson’s to slow functional decline, improve movement, and rediscover confidence, strength and independence.
Our goal is to help you:
- Build your confidence
- Move more freely
- Re-train your brain
- Get back to doing the things you love!
PD Warrior sessions occur as follows, with the most suitable class for you discussed during initial assessment:
- Monday at 11:30am – 12:30pm
- Wednesday 12:30pm – 1:30pm
- Friday at 11:30am – 12:30pm

Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is the use of water for therapy, exercise and rehabilitation. Hydrotherapy has been well proven to assist in recovery from surgery or injury, and often provides a means of relieving aches and pains through movement. At West Tamar Physiotherapy we utilise the buoyancy, warmth, resistance and compressive qualities of water to treat a range of conditions including:
- Musculoskeletal injuries
- Neurological conditions such as stroke and multiple sclerosis
- Osteoarthritis
- Post operative rehabilitation (e.g. total hip or knee replacements)
- Spinal injuries
Hydrotherapy sessions are as follows:
- Launceston Aquatic Centre every Tuesday at 4:00 – 5:00pm.
- Gravelly Beach Swim Centre every Tuesday and Thursday at 11:00am – 12:00pm
Low Impact Exercise Class (Exeter)
This class is a circuit-based class with exercises for improving strength, mobility and balance, as well as heart and bone health.
The circuit involves 2 minutes at each station performing exercises that focus on improving strength and endurance in the arms, legs, and core. We also include balance exercises in the circuit, and often finish with a group challenge that makes the brain work hard too!
This group is currently run by our therapy assistant team with experience to adapt exercises to suit your abilities.
Sessions are run once a week as follows:
- Thursday at 9:30am – 10:15am and 10:30am – 11:15am
