MOVE WELL Parkinson’s Mobility Class

Bodies in Balance provides hour-long exercise classes that are specifically targeted to individuals living with Parkinson’s disease. These classes are led by licensed physical and occupational therapists who specialize in treatment for those living with PD and other forms of Parkinsonism. We provide this class with the belief (backed by evidence based research) that exercise is medicine for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease and has the potential to slow your Parkinson’s progression. Classes address many areas of improving fitness: strength, balance, coordination, flexibility, and cardiovascular function. You will see components of both PWR! (Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery) and LSVT BIG incorporated into these classes.

Requirements for entry include: A physical or occupational therapy evaluation to screen for safety, physical limitations, and health risks for those interested in participating in our classes. We recommend that individuals participating in the class have the ability to ambulate without an assistive device and can get up and down off of the floor.

In some instances your therapist may recommend that you are able to participate in the Move Well class but would also benefit from individualized therapy sessions to improve their abilities to participate in class and/or achieve other personalized goals.
