While medication has long been the most promising treatment available for Parkinson’s disease (PD), a regular exercise program should always be part of managing PD. In fact, most movement disorder neurologists say that exercise is as important as any one of your medications. Though exercise is not a cure, it may help slow the progression of symptoms.
This book provides general exercise information and suggestions for all people living with PD. You may use it to help increase your fitness level and improve your ability to do everyday activities. In addition, this book includes resources for physical and occupational therapists who would like information regarding treatment options for people with PD.
