Parkinson’s Fitness Class
All Parkinson’s participants must first receive an assessment through Wheaton Franciscan/All Saints physical therapy department. Participants may get a referral to physical therapy from their primary care physician. AFTER the assessment participants will be involved in a one hour fitness class. Up to 30 minutes are spent walking on a treadmill to improve gait speed and balance. Another 30 minutes are spent in a toning/flexibility class with a focus on improving posture and balance.
