Parkinson's Disease Amplitude-based Training

Body

Parkinson's Disease Amplitude-based Training is an advanced level group exercise class that incorporates the latest approach to exercise for early staged individuals with Parkinson’s disease.

This class will utilize high intensity, multi-directional and repetitive movements to increase endurance, balance, and functionality of everyday movements. There will also be an education component to help participants learn about the effects of Parkinson’s disease and strategies to improve function.

This class is best suited for individuals in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease who are comfortable performing dynamic movements such as going up stairs, curbs, or standing up and out of a chair independently. Exercises will be performed in both seated and/or standing positions. Participants must be able to get on and off the floor for mat exercises.
