What's New At Power Over Parkinson's
A visit by Congressman Jimmy Panetta
Power Over Parkinson’s was excited to have Congressman Jimmy Panetta visit the POP Studio recently. POP invited Congressman Panetta to thank him for his support of the recently passed Congressional Bill now known as
Dr. Emmanuel Bilirakis and Honorable Jennifer Wexton National Plan to End Parkinson's Act. The bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to address Parkinson's disease to guide efforts to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure the disease; and improve the care of those with the disease. POP is committed to the wellness of people with Parkinson’s through boxing, stretch, and other exercise and information programs.

Dance for Parkinson's Class
There has been early enthusiasm for the Dance for Parkinson’s class we’re now offering on Tuesday morning. Dance movements have been shown to be effective with respect to Parkinson’s. Dance is a stimulating activity that connects mind and body similar to our current boxing program.

Balance, Stretch & Pilates
Our yoga instructor Beth Lefebvre is now conducting balance and stretch and Pilates classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays

Tai Chi Class
To finish off the week, we have added a Saturday Tai Chi class. Liana Olson, a Senior Trainer at Tai Chi for Health Institute is leading these classes. Tai Chi concentrates on smooth, flowing movement that has shown improvement in walking ability, posture, and balance for people with Parkinson’s.
