Did you know exercise is key to managing Parkinson’s Disease? The Parkinson’s Outcomes Project found that people who start exercising early and maintain at least 2.5 hours of activity per week show a slower decline in quality of life.

A great starting point is the research-based LSVT BIG® program. This program helps retrain the brain to use bigger movements, which improves overall mobility, balance and gait. https://bit.ly/45tpE7N
