SUMMARY:AFT Webinar - April 2026 (Neuroplasticity in Parkinson's)
DESCRIPTION:What if exercise could reshape the brain? For people living with Parkinson’s disease\, a growing body of research suggests it can – and understanding the mechanisms behind that change has the potential to fundamentally transform clinical and fitness practice. \nThis evidence-informed webinar explores the relationship between physical activity and neuroplasticity in the context of Parkinson’s disease\, bridging the gap between neuroscience and real-world application. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of the neuroanatomical and physiological changes that drive both motor and non-motor symptoms\, before examining how targeted exercise interventions can promote neurorestoration and neuroprotection in the Parkinson’s brain. \nThe session moves from science into practice — equipping attendees with a clear\, evidence-based framework for Parkinson’s-specific exercise prescription\, including guidance on optimal dosage\, exercise selection\, and the principles that underpin meaningful functional outcomes for clients. \nThis webinar is suitable for:\n\nPhysiotherapists\nOccupational Therapists\nSpecialist Nurses (PD/MS)\nExercise Physiologists\nPersonal Trainers\nExercise Referral Instructors\nRehabilitation and exercise specialists\n\nWhether you are already working with people living with Parkinson’s and looking to deepen your clinical reasoning\, or exploring the condition for the first time\, this session offers an accessible and evidence-grounded entry point into specialist practice. \nLearning Outcomes\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nRecognise Parkinson’s disease in practice — understanding who it affects\, how it presents\, and why early identification matters\nDescribe the neuroanatomical and physiological changes associated with Parkinson’s\, including both motor and non-motor symptoms\nExplain the mechanisms by which exercise promotes neuroplasticity\, neurorestoration and neuroprotection in the Parkinson’s brain\nApply an evidence-based framework for Parkinson’s-specific exercise prescription\, including appropriate dosage and exercise selection\nReflect on current practice and identify opportunities to strengthen client outcomes through targeted programming\n\nAbout our Guest\nMaria Lewis is a specialist physiotherapist in Parkinson’s disease\, with over 10 years’ experience working exclusively with people living with Parkinson’s. She is the co-founder of Reach Your Peak\, a physiotherapy-led online exercise community dedicated to empowering people with Parkinson’s to live active\, fulfilling lives. \nAs both an educator and clinician\, Maria is the lead contributor and author of the CIMSPA-accredited Parkinson’s Pro course\, playing a pivotal role in bridging the gap between theory and practice. Through this work\, she equips physiotherapists and exercise professionals with the confidence and practical skills to use exercise as a powerful intervention for people with Parkinson’s within their communities. \nMaria is a founding member of the Parkinson’s UK Excellence Network Exercise Hub\, a network of over 700 healthcare and exercise professionals committed to championing physical activity for people with Parkinson’s. She also serves as Chair of the Welsh Board of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (CSP)\, ensuring rehabilitation remains firmly on the Government’s agenda. \nWhat makes AFT Live Panel Webinars Unique?\nEarn While You Learn\nAttendees can claim 0.5 CIMSPA CPD points for participating in our live webinars\, supporting your ongoing professional development and commitment to inclusive fitness practice. \nWhy Attend Our Live Webinars?\nReal-Time Expertise: Connect directly with specialists in adaptive fitness\, neurological conditions\, and rehabilitation through our live formatInteractive Learning: Ask questions\, get immediate answers\, and engage with industry experts as the session unfoldsFlexible Viewing: Watch from your computer\, tablet\, mobile\, or smart TV—wherever works best for youProfessional Networking: Connect with fellow fitness professionals who share your passion for inclusive health through our live chatPractical Insights: Walk away with evidence-based strategies you can implement immediately in your practice \nWho Should Join?\nQualified fitness professionals looking to expand their knowledge in adaptive fitness training.

SUMMARY:AFT Webinar - March 2026 (Neuro Gait Analysis)
DESCRIPTION:Understanding\, identifying and supporting neurological walking impairments in practice. \nWalking difficulties are one of the most common and life-limiting challenges experienced by individuals with neurological conditions. However\, gait changes are often complex\, subtle and multifactorial — making them difficult to assess and address confidently without a structured framework. \nThis practical\, evidence-informed webinar introduces the fundamentals of neuro gait analysis and provides clinicians\, exercise professionals and support staff with the tools to observe\, interpret and respond to walking impairments safely and effectively. \nParticipants will explore the components and phases of the normal gait cycle before learning how neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s\, Multiple Sclerosis\, stroke and other acquired brain injuries alter movement patterns. Through guided video case studies and real-world examples\, you’ll develop the skills to recognise common abnormal gait presentations and understand what they mean functionally. \nImportantly\, this session also highlights the role of multi-disciplinary collaboration in gait rehabilitation\, helping attendees understand where exercise\, therapy\, nursing and medical input fit together to achieve the best outcomes for clients. \nThis webinar is suitable for: \n\nGPs and Consultants\nSpecialist Nurses (PD/MS)\nTherapists\nCarers\nPersonal Trainers\nExercise Referral Instructors\nRehabilitation and exercise specialists\n\nWhether you work in clinical\, community\, home-care or fitness settings\, this session will strengthen your observational skills and clinical reasoning to better support safe\, confident mobility. \nLearning Outcomes\nBy the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the components and phases of the gait cycle\nIdentify the characteristics of normal and abnormal gait\nRecognise common neurological gait patterns across conditions such as Parkinson’s\, MS and stroke\nObserve and analyse gait using structured video case studies\nUnderstand a range of treatment and rehabilitation approaches across disciplines\nAppreciate the role of the multi-disciplinary team (MDT) in effective gait rehabilitation\n\nAbout our Guest\nVicky Knight is a Specialist Neurological Physiotherapist and Director of LV Rehabilitation\, a growing independent rehabilitation service she founded with a clear vision: to deliver high‑quality\, person‑centred rehab that empowers people to live life to the fullest. With over 15 years’ experience\, Vicky has a particular passion for supporting people living with neurological conditions\, and for integrating strength\, conditioning\, and real‑world function into rehabilitation. \nFrom starting with a small team\, Vicky has led LV Rehabilitation’s journey into a service offering clinic‑based and community rehabilitation\, driven by strong values\, innovation\, and clinical excellence.
