Parkinson's disease affects millions worldwide, yet many people still find it hard to understand. For members of the Geebung Polo Club, knowing more about this condition can help support friends, family, or fellow members who may face its challenges. This blog offers clear, practical information about Parkinson's disease, its symptoms, causes, and ways to manage it.



David Martin


He and his wife Angela are actively involved in the local community of support groups around the North Brisbane area. David has been invited to provide some of his notes and information supplied to the Geebung group for this website blog and has agreed to participate in it. Importantly, I and David both acknowledge, and re-inforce the fact that these are personal notes for the use of the group and site users and are not in any way deemed to be medical advice.

Joining support groups or connecting with others facing Parkinson's can provide emotional strength and practical advice.
