The year after I was diagnosed PD I started working w/ a Personal Trainer. He made up a program for flexibility, strength and balance, I went 3 times per week and it was amazing how much I "got back" that I thought were gone. My balance especially - I can stand on one foot and pull my slacks up now & have taken 3 strokes off my golf game!! I just feel better all over. Don't go to him much in the warm weather cause I get my exercise w/ golf and working in the yard and walking on the beach. I strongly reccomend exercise for anyone, even if in a wheel chair.
