There is a special place in Portland, OR where an enthusiastic, trained fitness coach built a gym dedicated to helping people with Parkinson’s. She calls the people she trains – Fighters. That is very appropriate and sets the tone for what she expects from them. In one building they can take classes in drumming, singing, dancing, boxing, Tai Chi, yoga and more. 350 people take advantage of this opportunity to work on their physical and mental well being. Listen in as Kimberly Berg describes how she does it and one of her Fighters tells of her experience attending in person and now virtually.
Thank you to my sponsor, Boston Scientific, the maker of Vercise, a directional system Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS device. Boston Scientific is dedicated to transforming lives through meaningful innovation.
Great article
I enjoyed Kimberly a lot more this time than when I heard her at the support group.
I wish we had a gym like this in Phoenix which catered only to Parkinson’s fighters and had all those activities. What a variety.
Unfortunately, for some reason I could not bet the bog to play past 32 minutes.
