GZ Sobol’s Parkinson's Network exercise comes to Athens

The GZ Sobol's Parkinson's Network exercise class has come to Athens.

Cedar Lake Home Health and Hospice has brought the exercise class to the Living for the Brand Cowboy Church. Classes for people suffering from a multitude of neurological diseases are held starting at 12:30 p.m., Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

GZ Sobol's exercise class offers the Parkinson’s Disease (PD) community an opportunity to participate in an exercise class that was designed by a person with PD.

It's no secret that exercise is good for you. Because PD affects physical movement, it can be discouraging to undertake an exercise program. However, regular exercise can provide significant benefits to those with the disease.

Caren Anthony, marketing manager at Cedar Lake Home Health, became a certified Parkinson Disease exercise instructor after completing the GZ Sobol's Parkinson's Network instructor class.

“I don't know who gets more excited about our class, me or the people that we are helping,” said Anthony. “We clap, cheer, laugh, holler and sometimes cry. These people are amazing, and I love them all.”

Parkinson’s Network provides exercise classes for People with Parkinson’s Disease (PWP), MS, TBI, neurological disorders and those that want to age, well.

Some Parkinsonians have found the benefits of exercise to include improved ability to speak and swallow. A heightened sense of well being is an almost guaranteed by-product of regular exercise.

The exercise program is based on the Gary Sobol technique. Sobol has a vision that every person in this country with Parkinson’s should have a place that they can go to, to take these classes, and improve their quality of life and restore lost functions.

Anthony says she can attest to the benefit of the Parkinson exercise class.

Anthony teaches the class held at the Family Fitness of Gun Barrel City on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.

All exercise classes hosted by Cedar Lake Home Health are open to the public. These are free classes for those who can benefit from the exercises.
