Exercise Physiology and Parkinson’s Disease

Exercise is a vital part of healthy living for everyone, especially for individuals with Parkinson’s Disease. Research has shown that a tailored exercise program, designed to address the specific symptoms of Parkinson’s, can help alleviate motor symptoms while improving balance, mobility, strength, and daily living activities. Exercise not only enhances physical function but, in some cases, may also slow the progression of Parkinson’s Disease.

Targeted exercises, including balance training, mobility exercises, strength training, and cardiovascular activities, are essential for maintaining overall health and independence as we age. An exercise physiologist plays a crucial role in developing personalized programs tailored to each individual’s unique symptoms and experience with Parkinson’s.

At The Butler, we’ve partnered with TM Physio to offer exercise physiology services that can be delivered in the comfort of your home or at our Clubhouse facility. Additionally, our consumers can participate in group exercise classes held at The Henry at no extra charge.
