Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that inhibits a person’s movement control. Parkinson’s disease is both physically and mentally exhausting, and at times overwhelming for the families it impacts.
Here on the Suncoast, we are lucky to have many resources for Parkinson’s disease like the Parkinson Place Center for All Movement Disorders which is celebrating its 10th Anniversary. For the past ten years, the Parkinson Place Center has strived to meet its mission to meet the physical, mental, emotional, and social needs of those living with movement disorders through education, empowerment, support, and community resources.
Parkinson Place Center is a 9,000-square-foot destination site in Sarasota, Florida that offers 75 free programs a month and free membership. Parkinson Place Center offers a variety of in-person & virtual programs you can participate in, including fitness, pedaling, and voice therapy. Popular classes include Fun Fitness, Rock Steady Boxing, Empower Hour, and Say It Loud & Clear. Check out the monthly calendar here.
Parkinson’s Place not only supports those with movement disorders, but they also have support groups for caregivers. They also feature expert guest speakers who present ongoing educational and empowerment programs, conferences, and special events.
