Prosper PD is a mobile wellness service offering individualized exercise and fitness programs for those with Parkinson’s Disease in the Denver area.

Take control of your Parkinson’s Disease by committing to regular PD specific exercise.

Why is exercise so important?

Growing evidence demonstrates that intense exercise is crucial for management of Parkinson’s Disease (PD). Parkinson’s Disease is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by both motor and non motor symptoms that incline many patients to lead a more sedentary lifestyle, further impacting overall mobility. Many of these motor and non motor symptoms are improved with regular exercise helping with symptom management both short and long term. Moderate-to-high-intensity exercise multiple times per week for prolonged periods (e.g., 6 months) has been shown to help the motor severity of PD in several clinical trials. A recent study even revealed that intense exercise in early PD can reverse degenerative changes in the brain indicated in DAT scan imaging. In summary, exercise has been found to be neuroprotective meaning it can help prevent and even slow disease progression!
