FORT MYERS, Fla. (Aug. 13, 2021) – The Hope Parkinson Program is conducting a ping pong workshop this fall for those living with Parkinson’s disease. As a fun‐filled way to improve symptoms of PD, the workshop will include four lessons with USATT-certified and SafeSport trained instructors Purvi Naik and Anay Naik. A study published in the American Academy of Neurology recently showed that ping pong, or table tennis, may improve rigidity, slowness, mood, and cognition. Further research is underway to confirm the findings.
Lessons will be held every Saturday at 2 p.m. in September at the Estero Park and Recreation Center in Estero. Pre-registration is required. For more information about the workshop or to RSVP, contact PDevents@HopeHCS.org or call 239-425-9886.
After launching in 2009, the Hope Parkinson Program has enabled more than 3,000 people in Lee County to experience the fullness of life through knowledge, movement, and fellowship. As a community service of Hope Healthcare, membership is provided at no charge to participants. For more information, visit www.HopeParkinson.org.
