Parkinson’s Exercise Group

For many living with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), treatments have been focused on time-limited symptom management.  However, there is evidence to suggest that exercise can play a vital role in reversing some disease in persons with mild to moderate PD.  This program teaches specific exercises that manage symptoms and aim to modify Parkinson’s Disease through neuroplasticity, targeting increased participation and efficiency through specific amplified movement and general reconditioning, and of course, by making it fun!

Metabolic Reconditioning Program

Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of metabolic abnormalities and risk factors that increase the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular problems.  A person is diagnosed as having metabolic syndrome when they have three of the following risk factors:

  • Elevated blood glucose level
  • Elevated blood pressure
  • Elevated cholesterol levels
  • Central obesity

The program consists of:

  • Sessions run twice a week for 6 weeks (12 sessions in total)
  • Meals provided at each session
  • Sessions involve 1 hour of aquatic exercise coupled with either land based exercise or educational components from the dietician or exercise physiologist.
