Frequently Asked Questions
Do 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
14Frequently 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
15Frequently Asked Questions
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.
