PARK & REC: A PD RECREATIONAL THERAPY & EXERCISE PROGRAM

PARK & REC is an evidence-based recreational therapy and exercise program for individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease. Participants will complete a 10-week program that addresses both motor and non-motor symptoms of PD, including mobility, posture, balance, strength, anxiety, depression, speech volume, etc. This program uniquely combines exercise and recreation-based modalities to combat PD symptoms, in which the participants have the autonomy to choose what series they are most interested in. This person-centered approach allows participants to select from a variety of therapeutic exercises and activities, such as, yoga, tai chi, adaptive sport, expressive therapies, art, dance, music/singing, outdoor cycling, passive/active games, and team building activities.  This person-centered program is driven by the participants’ needs, interests, and goals truly putting the “fun” in functional. 

There are limited spaces and pre-assessments are required prior to attending. Program fee of $50 (with a $30, 1 time registration fee if you are new to Aloha programs.) Next session starts in July.

Community and Educational Programs

Families, caregivers and professionals can reach a deeper level of understanding by spending some time “walking in their care recipients or clients shoes.” Activities mimic what it is like to feel confused, frustrated, isolated and more. Participants will gain compassion and empathy.  

These simulation exercises help participants understand age-related health challenges faced by the older people they serve. These include neuropathy, hearing loss, vision loss, language and cognitive impairment, mobility and balance. Join us as we share experiences with peers to help you process lessons learned in a meaningful, memorable way. What is it like to live every day as an older adult facing one or more common, age-related health challenges? During the engaging, active learning sessions, participants break into small groups for simulation exercises designed to provide insight into this important question. After the “hands-on” experiences, they gather to discuss how such challenges may impact an elder’s autonomy and ability to live independently.

Monday, June 23rd 10:30AM RSVP by June 19th at Aloha to Aging, Inc.

Wednesday, June 25th 10:30AM RSVP by June21st at Gritters Library
