Students provide assistance during weekly classes for those suffering from Parkinson’s disease. The program is split into class for those with early disease process and those with more advanced disease. The exercises consist of: non-contact boxing, balance and mobility training, voice activation strength training, stretching, camaraderie, and fun. The program is designed to improve symptoms and quality of life while increasing neuroplasticity in the brain.
