A class open to anyone with a neuromuscular or cerebrovascular condition such as Parkinson’s or Multiple Sclerosis. Each class will include a variety of exercises to help improve balance, mobility, strength, endurance, cognition, and flexibility Exercises are modified to accommodate everyone’s needs and abilities

PWR! Moves
PWR! Moves is the core of our PD-specific functional exercise and physical therapy programs. The Basic 4 PWR! Moves are designed to each target a skill known to deteriorate in people with Parkinson's disease, which often leads to loss of mobility and function. The PWR! Moves can be practiced in multiple positions, made progressively more physically and cognitively challenging, and be used differently to target each person’s unique symptoms individually.
Wednesdays, 11:45 AM - 12:30 PM
Pedal for Parkinson’s
The MetroWest YMCA offers this program because regular exercise is one of the key components in treating the many symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Research conducted at the Cleveland Clinic showed a 35 percent reduction in symptoms by the simple act of pedaling a bicycle at a rapid pace, optimally 80-90 revolutions per minute Fast pedaling is not a cure for Parkinson’s disease, but there is compelling evidence to show that it does make a real difference in many who try it.
Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Requirements to participate:
Must be over age 30 and diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease or another neurological condition
