Unione Parkinsoniani Perugia

Unione Parkinsoniani Perugia is a nonprofit volunteer association supporting people affected by Parkinson’s disease and their families. Registered in Perugia in 2007, the organization began its activities in 2008 as an ONLUS and continues to promote the message that people can make a difference together. Its work combines information about Parkinson’s disease with opportunities for participation and wellbeing.

The association’s website explains the condition, its symptoms, diagnosis and treatment, and provides information about care centers in Umbria. It also describes the role and limits of available therapies, noting that some approaches remain experimental. Activities include Tai Chi, adapted physical exercise, boxing, dance and facial gymnastics, alongside music and theatre workshops, cognitive stimulation, speech therapy and artistic activities.

These programs offer varied ways for participants to engage in movement, communication and creative expression. The association also welcomes donations to support its work and provides contact details for its main office and local sections, including those in Gubbio and Città della Pieve
