When programmed properly, exercise can help you manage your symptoms better each day and will not worsen your condition. If we see any regression in ability, we will coordinate with your neurologist and physical therapist to ensure proper measures are taken.
Everyone is different, which is why we require all clients to gain medical clearance from their physician before exercising. This helps us understand their current medical status and helps to determine how far they can push themselves. Recent research indicates that vigorous exercise can help shift cognitive decline. It’s important to build a progressive program suitable to your current ability level and increase intensity and duration over time.
We always recommend that people remain active outside any class or guided one-on-one personal training sessions. Your guided exercise with a professional should focus on challenging exercises you cannot do on your own. Your independent exercise can consist of general mobility and cardiovascular exercise.
No, exercise cannot be a substitute for your medication. We strongly suggest working with your neurologist and other physicians on your team to optimize your medications. When you optimize your symptoms, this also helps you maximize the impact of your exercise routine.
