Exercise plays a vital role in living well with Parkinson’s. That’s why movement-based activities like Tai Chi, ping pong, and rock climbing are more than just fun—they’re powerful tools for improving strength, balance, confidence, and more. While it may become more challenging to stay active as symptoms progress, it’s never too late to find a movement practice that works for you. Many types of exercise can be adapted to allow you to participate as your symptoms and experience of Parkinson’s changes.
As always, before starting any new exercise practice, please check with your care team to make sure it’s the right fit for you. With the right support, activities like the ones we explore below can be enjoyable ways to stay active, build confidence, and live well today.
