Physical activity is a key element in Parkinson’s disease management. It reduces the impact of disease symptoms, improves cognitive function and has a neuroprotective effect. You can join online Parkinson’s exercise groups in the comfort of your home, or in person with a group near you.
Parkinson Québec works with health professionals who know Parkinson’s disease and who accompany you safely throughout the activities. Several activities are available to you on our platform. You can exercise in the comfort of your home. Participate in an online exercise group that meets your needs at a time that is convenient for you.
