Ping Pong Parkinson PPP

It must be hard for you to believe, but the sport - table tennis, has medicinal properties that help slow the progression of the disease, for those dealing with Parkinson's.

Through table tennis the contestants can improve their daily functioning.

Don't doubt it and come enjoy, develop and improve your balance, hand-eye contact, the mass of muscles responsible for movement, stability and cognition, quickness of footwork, improving mobility and coordination... and of course being part of a cohesive, supportive and strengthening group of players.  It is never too late to join table tennis groups all over the country. The activity is for all competitors of all ages.

The Parkinson's Association in Israel initiates the establishment of table tennis clubs all over the country within the framework The benefits club for members of the association.
The program was initiated, led and developed by a former Parkinson's Pilot HA contestant Mr. Roni Gilboa, late of the settlement of Beit Hillel and a member of the management team at the Hermoni branch of the association, together with the trainers Shahar Gilad and Yishi Korliker.
Roni added Israel to the European Union and was elected as a board member of the union, Roni stuck his vision to the association's management and together we led the expansion of the project.

Today, about 300 ping pong players nationwide are active in the association.

Table tennis for Parkinson's patients - to improve daily functioning

Any activity you do is welcome and can help. At the same time, there are activities that combine a large number of parameters and thus produce much more benefit, in particular, for those suffering from Parkinson's disease.

If you suffer from Parkinson's disease, you will not believe how quickly you start to feel and feel an improvement almost immediately, thus you deal better with the problem you suffer from as part of the Parkinson's challenges.
