PD in Motion

Parkinsons Disease Exercise & Support Program

Empowering Lives with Movement

The Attleboro YMCA is proud to introduce PD in Motion, a new and more robust Parkinson’s Disease program designed to support individuals at every stage of their journey with PD. 

Whether newly diagnosed or in later stages, participants can join evidence-based classes to improve mobility, strength, balance, and overall quality of life. With daytime and evening sessions, the program is accessible to all schedules.

Led by trained professionals, PD in Motion offers a safe, supportive space to build confidence, maintain independence, and connect with others. More than exercise, it’s a pathway to improved well-being, social connection, and renewed possibility for those living with Parkinson’s.
