ExerciseMost of the exercises in each class can be modified to a seated level with the exception of PWR!Moves™, PWR!Circuit™ and Knock Out PD Boxing which are more vigorous and have specific enrollment criteria. *All participants at risk for falls must be accompanied by a caregiver.

Art of MovingThis exercise class is based on the book Parkinson’s Disease and the Art of Moving, by John Argue. The exercises are designed to help one anticipate, prevent and delay symptoms. They are targeted at the symptoms that occur in most everyone with Parkinson’s disease such as tremor, rigidity, uncertain balance, slowness and incomplete range of movement. The exercises also help with other associated symptoms such as freezing, masked facial expression, swallowing problems, loss of voice power and speech difficulties.

Tai ChiTai Chi, based on ancient Chinese exercise, is an experience of physical, mental and spiritual well being. Tai Chi is a series of individual dance like movements linked together in a continuous, smooth-flowing sequence. Particular benefits of Tai Chi to people with a movement disorder include reduced stress and increased energy, improved circulation, muscle tone, concentration and focus, and significant improvement in balance.

Yoga for EveryBody, Mind and Soul!Yoga practice encompasses physical movement, breath development, and mental focus, or mindfulness.Mat Yoga: A more advanced yoga practice incorporating standing poses, balance and strengthening work. Participants are able to get up and down from the floor independently and follow verbal instructions independently.Seated Yoga: Chair based yoga poses emphasizing

stretching and strengthening. Participants will learn techniques for proper breathing to promote relaxation.

PWR!Moves™PWR!Moves™ is a group exercise approach that specifically targets PD symptoms of slow/small movements. Participants will learn how to use high effort, muscle activation for bigger movements, better posture, balance, and everyday FUNction such as walking, turning, rising from a chair, or floor, and speaking. There are three PWR!Moves™ class levels, designed to meet the specific needs of each individual participant:PWR!Moves™ 1: This class is of high intensity with little time between transitions, with exercises done from a standing or walking position. Participants can ambulate without support, get up and down from the floor without assistance, and work at a fast pace with high intensity, both cognitively and physically.PWR!Moves™ 2: This class is of moderate intensity with exercises done from a standing and walking position. Participants walk without an assistive device and can get up and down from the floor independently, or with minimal support. PWR!Moves™ 3: This is a class with exercises performed primarily in a chair or standing with extra support. This class is designed for people who do best in a supported environment with accomadations to maximize the benefits of exercise. All PWR!Moves™ participants must complete an assessment for class placement prior to starting class. Please call Patty at 602-406-3840 to schedule a time for your assessment.*All PWR!Moves™ 3 participants at risk for falls must be accompanied by a caregiver.

to participate in this class. Station activities include cardiovascular, strength training, agility, coordination, balance, and flexibility exercises.

This is a moderate to high level PD specific exercise class. Participants must be able to ambulate without an assistive device, be able to get up and down from the floor on their own, get on and off equipment independently and follow demanding group instructions without difficulty.

Voice ClassesVoice Class: Changes in voice, speech and swallowing are common to people with Parkinson’s disease. This voice class will teach you how to improve your voice quality and communication through proper breathing and posture, articulation, tone, and facial expression. Weekly group sessions are led by a speech-language pathologist

The LOUD Crowd®: The LOUD Crowd® is designed for people who have completed SPEAK OUT!® or LSVT LOUD within the last 9 months. This maintenance program consists of weekly group sessions led by a speech-language pathologist. The SPEAK OUT!® exercises are performed, and group members provide support, encouragement, and accountability to one another.

Music-Making-ConnectionsNeurologic Music Therapy – A Healthier Brain through MusicNeurologic music therapy (NMT) is an evidence-based treatment model that applies music to the neurological rehabilitation of cognitive and motor functioning. At the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center, group NMT sessions specially designed for Parkinson’s disease focus on rehabilitation and maintenance of movement, which includes fluency of movement, range of motion, and fluency of gait. We also work to maintain cognition, using music to activate

more of the brain and keep attention skills sharp. Because each person’s needs vary, adaptations to exercises are offered to meet participants where they are at on a given day. Come make new connections with us!

Parkinson’s DanceThe program is modeled, in part, on the Dance for PD® program developed by the exemplary Mark Morris Dance Company based in Brooklyn, NY.The classes follow a ‘traditional’ dance class format. They begin with a seated warm-up leading into standing work, holding on to a bar. The standing work provides the chance to work with balance and the connection of one movement to another aided by having something to hold onto. The last section of the class is devoted to learning movement phrases that take dancers across the floor. Instructor Debbie Braganza has completed the Mark Morris Dance for PD® teacher training workshop.

Knock Out PD BoxingKnock Out PD Boxing is a non-contact exercise program aimed at alleviating symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Boxing requires a combination of endurance, strength, power, speed, agility, flexibility, hand-eye coordination and aerobic training, all useful for people with Parkinson’s. Knock Out PD Boxing classes are done in a group setting to promote camaraderie and support to maintain long term participation in a high intensity workout program.Boxing classes are divided into different levels based upon each person’s overall level of fitness. All potential boxers are required to complete an assessment to determine the class placement that would be of greatest benefit.*There is a $30.00 monthly fee for the boxing 1 and 1/2 classes. Boxing 1 and 1/2 is not included in the MAPC monthly pass.

PD 101Parkinson’s 101 is a 4-week seminar course, 2 hours each session, for people with Parkinson’s disease and their families. The course covers basic neurology and the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, medication, nutrition, exercise, mind-body connections such as sleep disorders and depression, caregiving, how to talk to your doctor and any other topics of interest to the group.

PD 202PD 202 is offered to provide in-depth information and practical suggestions, concentrating on the most bothersome non-motor symptoms impacting quality of life in Parkinson’s disease. Topics covered include fatigue and energy management, working through depression and anxiety, cognitive changes and keeping your relationships healthy and balanced. Like PD 101, PD 202 is a 4-week seminar course, 2 hours each session, for people with PD and their families.

Education Session for those Newly Diagnosed with PDIf you or someone close to you has recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, you are likely experiencing many emotions and have many concerns and questions. At the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center (MAPC) we can help you meet the challenge of PD with support, optimism and hope. We encourage you to attend this educational session for an overview on Parkinson’s disease and the programs and support services available to you through the MAPC.

Powerful Tools for CaregiversCaregiving is a loving gift from the heart, but it can also be very challenging and demanding. Powerful Tools for Caregivers (PTC) was developed over 3 years of pilot testing and has been shown to have a positive impact on caregiver health. Since the program’s inception, PTC materials have reached over 80,000 caregivers. During the six weeks of classes, caregivers develop a wealth of self-care tools to: reduce personal stress; change negative self-talk; communicate their needs to family members and healthcare or service providers; communicate more effectively in challenging situation; recognize the messages in their emotions, deal with difficult feelings; and make tough caregiving decisions.

Caring for You, Caring for Me is an education and support program for people who are caring for individuals with a disability. The program was developed with a task force of family and professional caregivers through the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving. The 10 hour program includes topics such as defining who a caregiver is, how to take care of yourself, build cooperative relationships, prevent and solve issues and problems, and access and develop resources to help fulfill your caregiver role. The class meets 2 hours for 5 weeks and will be presented in an online forum.

PD SELF (Self Efficacy Learning Forum)PD SELF is a national program of the Parkinson’s Foundation. This class is for people diagnosed with PD, three years or less, and their care partners. The class presents an in-depth understanding of the disease and the self-efficacy tools to manage it with confidence. This course meets monthly for nine consecutive months starting each September.

Frequently Asked QuestionsDo I really need to exercise? By all means YES- everyone needs to exercise for optimal physical, emotional- and even social and brain health. Exercise for people with PD may help with the bothersome non-motor symptoms such as depres-sion, anxiety, fatigue, sleep disturbances and constipation. Research has shown that exercise can improve gait, balance, tremor, flexibility, and motor coordination and therefore aid in symptom management. Current research also suggests aerobic exercise may be neuroprotective and possibly slow disease pro-gression. In the case of Parkinson’s disease, exercise is not only important but it should be a fundamental part of the overall treatment program. Not only will you feel better with exercise, you will function better. Exercise is medicine so put it on your schedule and make sure you take your daily dose.

Do I need a class specifically designed for Parkinson’s disease?Not necessarily. If you are currently exercising now at a fitness center or other community based program, by all means we encourage you to keep doing what you are doing now. But there are lots of reasons people with PD benefit from classes designed specifically for people with PD. Often times classes are at a level too high for someone with PD- meaning they are too difficult and too challenging - which squelches success and feeds discouragement. The classes offered through the M.A.P.C. are tailored to meet your individual

Frequently Asked Questions

needs, which vary from person to person, day to day, hour to hour. The classes offered through the Center have been selected and targeted to delay symptoms or treat any existing symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. MAPC instructors are trained to work with people with PD. In tailored classes, people with PD find a new support group and social opportunities- an often unappreciated benefit of exercise- it helps us stay con-nected with others and the outside world, keeping us mentally fit.

Do I need to be a patient of the M.A.P.C. to attend classes?Absolutely not…..You need not be a patient of the M.A.P.C., the Barrow Neurological Institute or St. Joseph’s Hospital. The classes and the services of the Center are for anyone with PD regardless of where they receive medical care. We are a non-profit organization funded by private donations to serve our community.

Do I need a doctor’s release?A doctor’s release is not required, though we do recommend that you discuss exercise with your doc-tor. The classes are designed to work at your level and to advance at your level, SAFELY. Through reg-istration, your instructor will have knowledge of any health concerns you have reported.

Do I really have to pre-register; can’t I just show up?In order to provide safe, organized and effective exercise classes registration is required. Registration also allows us to communicate with you any unforeseen cancellations or situations. For those interest-ed in taking PWR!Moves™ or Knock out PD Boxing at the MAPC location, assessments are required to determine appropriate level. Registration paperwork can and must be completed before or during the first class.

If I am a former participant who has taken classes, do I have to register each time?Yes. Everyone needs to re-register as it keeps us up to date on who will be attending, as well as every-one’s health status, addresses/phone numbers and emergency contact information.

What do I wear?Comfortable clothing- clothing that is loose, stretches and moves with you. You do not need special exercise wear. The same with shoes- comfortable shoes that offer support.

Do I need any special equipment?The Center provides equipment at the MAPC location. Often times participants have their own equip-ment and prefer to bring and use their own. This is permissible, however the Center cannot maintain or store privately owned equipment.

If I miss classes in the beginning of the session, can I still sign up?Absolutely. There are lots of reasons that people are not able to attend the classes at the beginning of the


16

sessions. You can start the classes at any time- it is never too late. The classes are progressive, but every-one starts at a different level and moves at their own pace.

Do I have to attend all of the classes?No, you can pay for the classes as you go.

Do you provide transportation?Unfortunately transportation through the Center is not available.

What if someone cannot afford the classes, is there an alternative?Scholarship applications are available on a confidential basis.

Are the classes tax deductible?We are not in the accounting business and will leave this to the trained professionals in your area/state in which you file your taxes. We are however, happy to give you a receipt for any payments you have made for exercise.
