Parkinson’s: How to Reduce Symptoms Through Exercise By Kristine Meldrum Posted by IR Staff|January 5, 2024

Parkinson’s: How to Reduce Symptoms Through Exercise by Kristine Meldrum is part science, part physical therapy/exercise, and part motivational. A pioneer in the establishment of neuro-wellness classes, Meldrum not only promotes the four different types of exercises – cycling, treadmill, progressive strength training, and ‘rock steady boxing’ (a trademark) – she also explains the whys and how exercise stimulates the brain’s neuroplasticity. Kudos and narratives from research physicians (the Cleveland Clinic, Northwestern University and abroad) plus real-life case histories solidify the absolute importance of this book for Parkinson’s Disease patients and their caregivers.

This new book, Parkinson’s: How to Reduce Symptoms Through Exercise, is long overdue. Written by recognized experts in the field, this highly readable book comprehensively summarizes the state-of-the-art evidence in the field of exercise and Parkinson’s Disease (PD). 

The book is richly filled with personal stories, both of individuals living with Parkinson’s and the scientists who have helped to build the evidence to support the merits of exercise as a genuine therapy. Because, make no mistake, as this book nicely summarizes, there is now a rigorous scientific underpinning to demonstrate that exercise helps to alleviate the symptoms of PD, just as you would expect from a drug that corrects the dopamine deficiency in the brain.
