Exercise is a critical part of a Parkinson’s Disease (PD) patient’s treatment since it helps with flexibility, posture, and overall movement.

Parkinson’s Wellness Initiative

Research from the Parkinson’s Foundation’s Parkinson’s Outcomes Project has proven that 2.5 hours of exercise per week has a significant difference in the quality of life for those with PD. Regular physical activity is linked to improved mobility and less cognitive decline. 

Current participants can register online or in person at the Bender JCC Membership Desk. 

New participants are required to complete an intake interview. Once this has been completed and their neurologist has given clearance, their information will be sent to the program coordinator who will call them to register them for classes.
