Things we like to do

We meet monthly and will have occasional speakers of interest to our group.  Exercise is so beneficial and we will incorporate it in some group meetings. Medications and a healthy diet are also hugely beneficial to improving many symptoms so we will prioritize those as well! We share information and camaraderie with each other and do our best to lift each other up as we meet each challenge that life and Parkinson’s sends our way. Our group is a mix of all kinds of information and fun! There is no “one size fits all” so we learn as we go! 

Exercise and Voice Classes

Each week we provide 11 different exercise and voice classes at 3 different challenge levels to ensure each person gets what they need within a group setting.  We have a team of specially trained Physical and Speech therapists coaching Rock Steady boxing, Loud Crowd, Sing Out Loud, Kazoo Choir, Yoga and functional movement training called PWR Moves.

Education and Activities

We also have educational support group meetings once a month and a Ladies Living with Parkinson’s group as well.  Potlucks and community events such as our annual Pints for Parkinson’s and family and friends beach walk are favorites.  We are partnered with STARS rehab and provide one on one Physical, Occupational and Speech therapy services.
