Why is Parkinson Wellness Recovery beneficial?

Parkinson Wellness Recovery is led by a doctor of physical therapy and certified PWR!Moves therapist, and the exercises used in class have been shown to be effective in improving or maintaining functional mobility skills necessary to get out of a chair, turn around, get on and off the floor, walk, roll over in bed, and navigate tricky environments like steps or uneven surfaces. These progressive exercises also help build endurance and strength for everyday life!
