Parkinson's Exercise Program (PEP)

EXERCISE AS MEDICINE

The Y is partnering with Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery (PWR!) to create a comprehensive, neuroplasticity-principled program that integrates the latest exercise and wellness research called the Parkinson's Exercise Program (PEP). PEP provides a supportive exercise environment to optimize improvement in gait, balance, tremor, flexibility, grip strength, and motor coordination. Exercise has proven to be a key component with your medications, to help increase quality of life. With the Parkinson's Foundation sponsorship, we are able to offer this program at a minimal cost!
