Improved Mobility and Balance

Regular physical activity can help maintain and even improve mobility in people with Parkinson's. Staying Active classes often focus on exercises that enhance strength, flexibility, and balance, which are crucial for reducing the risk of falls—a common concern for those with Parkinson's.

Better Overall

Coordination

Exercises tailored for Parkinson’s patients can improve coordination and help with the fine motor skills that often decline as the disease progresses.

Enhanced Mood and Cognitive Function

Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins, which can help elevate mood and reduce feelings of depression and anxiety. Additionally, regular exercise has been linked to improved cognitive function, potentially slowing the progression of cognitive decline associated with Parkinson’s.

Reduced Stiffness
and Rigidity

Many people with Parkinson’s experience muscle stiffness and rigidity. Staying Active classes typically include stretching and flexibility exercises that can help alleviate these symptoms, making daily movements easier and more comfortable.

Social Interaction

Group classes provide a sense of community and can reduce the feelings of isolation that sometimes accompany chronic illnesses. Being around others who are facing similar challenges can offer emotional support and encouragement.

Slower Disease Progression

While exercise is not a cure for Parkinson’s, studies suggest that regular physical activity can help slow the progression of the disease. Staying Active classes are designed to provide a structured and safe environment for this important aspect of disease management.

Better Overall Quality of Life

Engaging in regular exercise through Staying Active classes can lead to a better overall quality of life. The combination of physical, emotional, and social benefits can make daily living easier and more fulfilling.
