Move to Improve: How Exercise Transforms Life with Parkinson’s

Movement is one of the most powerful ways to live well with Parkinson’s—supporting not only strength and balance, but also mood, confidence, and brain health. In this Wellness Wednesday session, we’ll explore the science behind exercise as medicine and how it can do more than manage symptoms—it can help shape the course of the disease.

Together, we’ll unpack what “high-intensity” really means in simple, approachable terms and discuss how any level of activity can make a difference. You’ll learn practical strategies for building movement into your everyday life, find out which types of exercise offer the greatest benefits, and discover how to stay motivated along the way.
