Movement for Parkinson’s A Group Exercise Program

Facilitated by Accredited Exercise Physiologists, the 8-week Parkinson’s Disease exercise program uses the most recent clinical research to enable you to reach your best physical and mental health. Learn how to use exercise to manage your symptoms and improve your ability to complete daily tasks. Exercise plays an integral role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, particularly for people living with Parkinson’s disease.

Regular exercise has been proven to help manage Parkinson’s disease symptoms through a process known as neuroplasticity. Exercise promotes neuroplasticity within your rain by increasing blood flow, which helps stimulate an increase in the number of neurons, their size and the connections between them.

The Movement for Parkinson’s program has been designed to help promote neuroplasticity with exercises that challenge the individual through random practice and problem solving activities.
