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.
 

PD Program Goals

Our empowering PD in Motion Program can help participants:

- Enhance physical function, slow symptom progression, and improve overall quality of life

- Move about with ease and confidence in a crowd

- Get out of bed or rise from a chair independently

- Dress independently

PD Support Group

Support groups can help you cope with the day-to-day realities of having Parkinson’s disease or caring for someone with Parkinson’s disease. Being part of a support group is a great way to reduce stress and connect with others who can relate to your experience. This FREE group is open to anyone diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease or a caregiver of someone with Parkinson’s Disease.
