Research has shown that physical activity can help alleviate some of the symptoms of this disease such as tremors, stiff muscles, slow movement, and trouble with balance or walking. This program is designed to improve the quality of life of Parkinson's patients and their caregivers. It also educates patients, caregivers and the public on the benefits of maintaining an active lifestyle after a diagnosis.

Participants must be 30-75 years old; diagnosed with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease; complete and provide a signed consent form and medical clearance.
