The focus of this exercise class is to improve mobility of individuals with Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. When you’ve been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, it is very important to stay moving and keep active in order to maintain optimal function. Exercise has been shown to be helpful in maintaining mobility throughout the lifespan. This class provides safe strengthening exercises with an emphasis on postural awareness, breathing, balance and rhythmical movement. These exercises aim to increase joint mobility, range of motion, improve balance recovery, gait mechanics, prevent joint deformation and elevate overall strength and stamina.
