What is Parkinson?
Parkinson is a brain disorder that causes muscle rigidity, slowness of movement, tremors and shaking, loss of balance and speech among others symptoms.
“ Everything slows down and stiffens up with PD, everything that a person does. “ Dr. Elana Clar, Neurologist, New Jersey Brain & Spine.
What is the health benefit of ping pong?
“ Ping pong provides physical exercise, which is one of the most effective ways to improve parkinson symptoms. It is also a brain sport and helps to relieve cognitive symptoms - you have to think on your feet, use visual attention and develop quick reaction time. “ Dr. Elizabeth Kera, Neuropsychologist & Director of Hackensack University Medical Center, Psychology Division.
How can you make your support count? You can set up a PingPongParkinson®️ club in your city or town or you can join our clubs and centers that are located in different cities and countries.
You can also start our PingPongParkinson®️ Sport Therapy program at your local sport center, gym, medical center or community center. Please send us an email at pingpongparkinson.team@gmail.com and we will get in touch with you!
