OUR MISSION
Why We Exist
THE PROBLEM: Most people with PD are not receiving optimal care.
Why? The Issue
PD medications minimally help memory, sleep, balance, fall risk and overall health. Exercise helps the best.
Any exercise? No
High-quality exercise: consistent, safe, accessible, variable, strength, cardio, high-intensity, skill-based.
Can I do it safely? Yes
Most people with PD can! We have been doing it safely for over 3 years!
How?
Parkinson doctor + professional trainers = MOVING BRAINS!
THE BOTTOM LINE: “If we don’t make high-quality exercise accessible to all people with PD, even the ones with better resources decline, and do not achieve their goal of staying mobile and staying away from ED visits, hospitalizations and/or nursing homes” José C. Cabassa, M.D.
THE VISION: Offer PD fighters free, high-quality, weekly fitness classes, monitored by licensed physicians and PD specialists, run by professional athletes/trainers in local community gyms.
We’ve begun the future of optimizing PD treatment!
