PARK & REC is an evidence-based weekday recreational therapy and exercise program
For individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease, this 10-week program addresses both motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, including mobility, posture, balance, strength, anxiety, depression, speech volume, etc. This program uniquely combines exercise and recreation-based modalities to combat PD symptoms, in which the participants have the autonomy to choose what series they are most interested in. This person-centered approach allows participants to select from a variety of therapeutic exercises and activities, such as, yoga, tai chi, adaptive sport, expressive therapies, art, dance, music/singing, outdoor cycling, passive/active games, and team building activities. This person-centered program is driven by the participants’ needs, interests, and goals truly putting the “fun” in functional. We offer this on Mondays at 3:00PM and the higher intensity “Boot Camp” version on Wednesdays at 3:00PM (This is an ongoing program)
