The DHR neurotherapy place on 10th is made for us, plus a Parkensons meeting once a month.
They start me doing stretches for about 15 minutes, then a combination of light exercise with exercise for balance. I feel good when I leave. If you do PT, you need this place.
VA sends me there. Check with VA or your insurance.

I have read accounts of the benefits that the Rock Steady Boxing program provides to people with Parkinson's. Here is an overview of what is involved. There is boxing but as part of this program there is an exercise routine that goes with the program.

Hi Laura, I go to the YMCA to a class called Delay the Disease. We work on balance, core muscles, and strength.
