APDA Parkinson's Training for Fitness Professionals
Total Health Works Total Parkinson's/Brain & Body (THW) class is a PD-specific exercise program that helps students work on their symptoms. THW Total PD Brain & Body class creates an environment that promotes support, community, and comradery. Each class includes short episodes of high-intensity aerobic work followed by PD-specific task training–core stability, strength training, dual-task training, integrated cognitive challenges, fine motor drills, and balance training etc. These tasks are incorporated at a challenging level of difficulty for all functional abilities. As mentioned before, TWH Total PD Brain & Body class uses brief bursts of cardio to get the brain activated to work on Parkinson’s specific activities. This makes it a great compliment to other more cardio based classes like neuro cycle and Rock Steady Boxing RSB where the cardio portion is much longer.
