Targeted exercise helps Parkinson&#8217;s patients with coordination, muscle strength, and movement. Parkinson\u2019s Disease (PD) affects the ability to control movement and balance which can make walking and other motor movements difficult, even walking on flat, even surfaces can be a challenge. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise that reinforces muscle strength, coordination, and movement can help to prevent falls. Even when falls may be inevitable exercise can help to limit the injury that occurs and help to facilitate recovery. <\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Falls are a very real risk, sometimes requiring surgery which can lead to further complications related to medications, blood clots, and heart involvement.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div
