GEM Exercise Program

Get Excited and Move (GEM) is a comprehensive program designed for patients with Parkinson's and combines stretching and body conditioning with the skills of boxing (no contact). In addition, unlike any other known program in the US, it encourages the partners and caregivers of PWP’s not just to drop them off or sit and watch, but to actively participate in the activities. This innovation adds the benefit of providing an outlet and exercise for the caregiver/partner and allowing them to participate actively in helping to conquer the effects of this devastating disease.
