About this program
The P.D. exercise class is based upon LVST and PWR4ife. The amplitude approach to Parkinson’s exercise, most notably LSVT BIG, focuses on combating bradykinesia and hypokinesia by training patients to use exaggerated, high-amplitude movements. It retrains the brain to perceive "normal" movements as too small, forcing "10 out of 10" effort for better, safer, and larger-scale mobility in daily life. NOTE: Classes run Tuesday (11:30am-12:30pm) AND Thursday (1:30-2:30pm)
