A Wellness Recovery Program
Research conducted at the Cleveland Clinic showed a 35% reduction in Parkinsons patient symptoms by the simple act of pedaling a bicycle at a rapid pace – optimally 80-90 revolution per minute. Pedaling is not a cure for Parkinsons disease and should not be touted as such, but there is compelling evidence to show that it does make a real difference for many.
If you are interested in finding out more about Pedaling 4 Parkinson’s or would like to participate, please fill out this interest form or contact one of our branches: Easley YMCA • Pickens YMCA • Powdersville YMCA.
