Parkinson's Disease Overview
If you or someone you know has Parkinson's disease (PD) you are not alone. In the United States, 120,000 new cases of PD are diagnosed each year, adding to the two million people who currently have PD. The Center for Disease control rated complications from Parkinson’s disease as the 14th leading cause of death in the United States. Worldwide, it is estimated that eight to ten million people suffer from the condition. There is hope, however, as scientists work towards a cure and make progress in identifying the best treatment options for patients.
Exercise
Exercise is an important part of healthy living for everyone. However, for people with PD exercise is not only healthy, but a vital component to maintaining balance, mobility and daily living activities. In fact did you know exercise could actually help slow the progression of PD?
Exercise and Parkinson’s Disease - What Makes Us Different
“Delay the Disease” is a fitness program designed to empower people with Parkinson’s Disease by optimizing their physical function and helping to delay the progression of symptoms. Founders, David Zid and Jackie Russell are passionate about the fact that Parkinson’s Disease can be manageable with daily exercise; it puts you back in control. This disease does NOT need to define you. Their belief in hope and inspiration for this community is a testimonial to their mission – to help provide this important tool of exercise to all people with Parkinson’s.
In Central Ohio, there are 8,000 to 10,000 people who have Parkinson's Disease and throughout the entire state of Ohio, the number of people affected by Parkinson's increases to 30,000 to 50,000.
