YOUR SUMMIT ORGANISERS – PD WARRIOR!

The 2018 INSIGHT SUMMIT has been brought to you by PD Warrior, founded by Specialist Neurological Physiotherapist, Melissa McConaghy, FACP. Melissa has been working with Parkinson’s patients for 17 years!

PD Warrior is a small organisation that continues to punch well above it’s weight. Developed as a rehabilitation program in Australia, it has expanded rapidly and is now run Internationally in four countries and counting! Our aim is to specifically help people slow the symptom development of their Parkinson’s down.

What sets PD Warrior apart and delivers such great success as a program are the four underpinning pillars:

1. Neuro-active exercise
2. Life-long behaviour change and adherence to exercise
3. Education and empowerment
4. Support and Community

PD Warrior helps people to achieve a greater state of physical, mental and social wellbeing by using neuroplastic training principles in exercise, as well as easy strategies and hints to build confidence, keep motivated and make significant changes for life.

PD Warrior is proud to be bringing together such an esteemed group of speakers, exhibitors, sponsors and partners, all of whom have given their time freely to raise awareness and to help people live their best life with Parkinson’s – because of and in spite of their Parkinson’s.
