Exercise and Parkinson's

Regular movement plays a powerful role in Parkinson’s care, keeping your body flexible, steady, and capable in daily life. Evidence shows that reaching 2.5 hours of weekly physical activity can slow down symptom progression and improve physical and emotional wellbeing. When you introduce a tailored mix of cardio, strength, stretching, and balance exercises early in your care plan, you help protect brain health and set yourself up for long-term success.
