Save the date of Jan. 15 at 12:30 p.m. in the Art and Craft Center, Room 3! Dr. Maria Ospina will discuss new applications of medication other than carbidopa/levodopa and lifestyle patterns to improve the quality of life for people with Parkinson’s disease. Text 520-275-8755 to reserve a spot.
At our last support meeting, we learned about the basic moves to keep residents with Parkinson’s mobile and independent, including how to use other modalities for symptom management, like cupping, massage, acupuncture, etc.
In this type of class, there are two purposes: 1) to build muscle mass to recover lost strength and functions, and 2) to counter the neurologic deficits that occur and to prevent the progression of the disease symptoms. We do this with weighted movements, education at every session, and sharing experience, strength, and support for one another—without whining!
We are listed in SaddleBrooke One since 2002 under Exercise and Support. Classes are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:30 to 2 p.m. in the SaddleBrooke One Art and Craft Center, Room 3, next to the Gift Shop. All are welcome! We have quarterly support and educational meetings on the third Thursday. Schedule for 2026: Jan. 15, Feb. 19, April 16, Oct. 15, and Dec. 17 (holiday party).
