Our Parkinson’s Wish Kit was created for people diagnosed with PD and was designed with input from dozens of Parkinson’s patients on the items, info, and encouragement they wished they’d received when they were diagnosed and what they’ve learned since. The most important “item” in these kits for new Parkinson’s patients is the knowledge that they’re not isolated and alone – they’re now part of a larger PD community.
pDNextSteps started in 2015 with a goal to help provide fitness options for people who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Exercise has been one of the only things proven to slow the progression of Parkinson’s, and we’ve built a safe, welcoming environment that has become an integral part of our members’ daily routines.
Our pDNextSteps gym, in Dublin, OH, offers a safe environment for people who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. We also offer a Home Workout Series to meet the needs of those living with PD wherever they reside.
