Recap of March Manchester Parkinson’s Disease Social Group

What We Heard

We were thrilled to welcome two esteemed professionals who shared their expertise on crucial aspects of managing Parkinson’s disease:

Shawn Nash, Physical Therapist from Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Centers
Chris Mersheimer, Fitness Instructor from Beat PD TodayTopics Covered

Our session focused on the latest information regarding posture and fall prevention. Shawn addressed common balance concerns faced by Parkinson’s patients, including the risks associated with festinating gait and tripping hazards. He demonstrated and discussed the benefits of physical therapy, and he provided practical prevention techniques to help reduce the risk of falls.

High-Intensity Exercise for Parkinson’s

In addition to the Shawns’ informative presentation, Beat PD Today’s fitness instructor Chris introduced high-intensity exercise routines specifically designed to improve symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. These exercises aim to enhance mobility, strength, and overall well-being.
