Exercise for Parkinson's patients
Much is said about physical activity for Parkinson's patients. Until a few years ago, there was no research support for the connection between the two. Today it is clear and proven: physical activity helps to maintain the physical condition of the body and even affects the mood and even the cognition. The spectrum of physiological disabilities among the patients is extremely broad and so is the mix of physical activities suitable for one or another patient.
The rule of thumb regarding the recommended length of time for physical activity means that such activity should be engaged in at least approximately 200 minutes per week cumulatively. That is, about 40-50 minutes, 4-5 times a week at least.
It is desirable to diversify the types of activity. Running or vigorous walking, exercises to strengthen the back and abdominal muscles and maintain their flexibility. Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy are also considered highly effective sports activities. More limited patients will do what is possible: exercises while sitting or lying down, or with the help of a chair and other furniture.
It is recommended to consult with a fitness trainer, or with a physical therapist (preferably physical therapists who have been trained to work with Parkinson's patients) regarding the type of exercises, the level of difficulty and the desired training structure.

"Physical activity is very important in Parkinson's disease. Different types of activity benefit the patients - focus on flexibility, agility, stability and also on strengthening and general fitness. Exercise should be performed almost daily, or at least 3-5 times a week. There are also patients who need a coach/physiotherapist to come to their home for activation."
Dr. Sharon Hassin, Director of the Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Clinic, Sheba Tel Hashomer Medical Center.

Movement therapy and Parkinson's
Around the world, movement therapy has become one of the main methods for alleviating the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Through rhythms such as tango waltz, in a supportive family setting and accompanied by a professional therapist, we work on proper posture, balance and energetic movement and face together the mental difficulties accompanying the disease.
