At first, my husband was hesitant about going to RSB, but agreed to give it a try. He LOVES it. He gets exercise and interaction from others with PD. He has had PD for 30 years and sees that he can do things some of the others can’t and he can’t do some of the things others do. The group is mostly men and they’re like a bunch of middle school boys. They tease and play tricks on each other.

I would definitely recommend it because a friend of mine with PD goes to a class in a town where I used to live and he has been helped. Unfortunately there is no Rock steady Bosing near me now so the health club with treadmill for working on my gait and machines for strength is about all I do there except use the massage chair and bed. I sldo have exercises to do that I got from having rehab for gait and balance which are helpful.

I am a fan of rock steady boxing, however I have found Tai Chi, Yoga, and stationary bicycling good also.

Thank you, that’s really interesting about a Parkinson’s Specialist Physio and the Nice Guidelines and the dancing.
Best wishes to you and your wife.
