My mom has Parkinson's. Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and the parts of the body controlled by the nerves. Her movements are slow, she has uncontrollable hand tremors, at time her body becomes stiff, she has balance issues, along with fatigue and other issues. Because the cause of Parkinson's is unknown, there are no proven ways to prevent the disease however to reduce the risks of other symptoms we exercise regularly. We do specificity exercises that target her balance, strength and agility plus cognitive awareness. In her boxing fitness session we use the heavy bags for punching sequences, cone drills to work on balance and spatial awareness, and strengthening exercises focused on the lower extremities and core. We have seen substantial improvements in functional strength (floor to standing transfer), dual task parameters (walking while counting), self-selected walking velocity, backwards walking, and dynamic balance. This program has helped others with Parkinson's live a better quality of life. We're fearless; we can fight Parkinson's. Donna Medina, MS Exercise Physiologist Gymnanigans.com...
