PFP offers free exercise classes for people with PD & their care partners in Austin, TX & on YouTube!
Our Parkinson's symptom directed approach engages people with PD & their caregivers improving balance, strength, coordination, & overall neuroplasticity.
Today’s Move & Shout class is all about amplifying our voices and movements.
Many people with Parkinson’s find that their voices are becoming softer and their movements smaller. This exercise sequence aims to push back on that by reinforcing large movements and loud voices.
