Dear John, We wanted to reminder you that our webinar is taking place tomorrow, September 20th at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Research demonstrates that people with Parkinson’s who regularly participate in wellness programs have a better quality of life. In addition to improved fitness, benefits include better symptom control, improved mental health and extended independence.
Come join us for our 2nd annual Health & Wellness Expo webinar, taking place on Wednesday, September 20 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. Eastern. We will hear from Rebecca Zaidlin, Neurosciences Specialist Physiotherapist and Co-owner of One Step Ahead Mobility, who will discuss the role of healthcare professionals and Physiotherapists as expert consultants for self-management of Parkinson’s, the complementary nature of movement programs and physiotherapy, and questions on the right time to consult a Physiotherapist in your Parkinson’s journey. Glenda Doucet-Boudreau will also join us to share how she found her own health and wellness “fit,” and a few tips on how you can find yours too.
Participants will have the opportunity to sample their choice of two LIVE wellness program demonstrations or discussions during the webinar.
You can choose from: - Physiotherapy: How You Move in Your Everyday Activities self-assessment
- Get LOUD Stay LOUD program
- Movement for People with Parkinson’s program (participants: have a small, soft tennis-sized ball nearby)
- Parkinson’s & the Alexander Technique program
- DopaBeats drumming program (participants: have something to bang on nearby)
- NeuroSask: Active and Connected program
For many people, the most difficult part of participating in wellness programs is the first step of building a new habit, getting started. The best way to guarantee you’ll stick with it is to find activities and programs that feel right for you. Each person with Parkinson’s comes to the table with their own unique personality, interests, physical abilities, and confidence levels. Join us on September 20 as we explore a variety of Parkinson’s health and wellness offerings and find the ones that “fit” best for you. |
