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 by a former Parkinson's Pilot HA contestant Mr. Roni Gilboa from 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 Korlikar.
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. Table tennis improves posture, coordination, eye-hand contact, improves cognition and the mass of muscles responsible for movement and stability.
Today, about 80 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 won't believe how quickly you start to feel and feel an improvement almost immediately, so you deal better with the problem you suffer from as part of the Parkinson's challenges.'
