Research demonstrates that when people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) engage in vigorous exercise programs that specifically address the symptoms and characteristics that are common among people with PD, the progression of the disease can be slowed down.  

 

The objective of the PD Rebel Project is to support the participation of people with Parkinson’s in meaningful Parkinson’s-specific exercise programs, such as boxing and dance, that can substantially enhance their daily function, provide a better quality of life, and increase the possibility that the rate of progression of their disease will be slowed.
