Delay the Disease™ is a fitness program designed to empower people with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and other neurological disorders by targeting symptoms and optimizing physical function. It is founded on evidence-based, structured exercise routines that are focused on strength training and correcting disease-specific physical challenges. Participation may lead to increased self-confidence and independence, decreased risk of falls, minimized fatigue, reduced rigidity, and improved mobility.
