For those who do not have Parkinson’s disease (PD), exercise is important for maintaining fitness and good health. For those with PD, exercise not only facilitates health but addresses many of the problems that are normally associated with the disease. A study headed by Beth Fisher, a researcher at the University of Southern California, showed that people with PD, who exercise, moved more normally than those who did not. A number of other studies show exercise to be important for combating depression, maintaining balance and mobility and providing a sense of well being. There is also some indication that exercise could help slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease.

For many years, the Fusion One program has been helping folks with PD manage the condition. The effectiveness of Fusion One in accomplishing this task is due, primarily, to the fact that Fusion One is a holistic system that makes use of a series of exercises that constitute three distinct forms; a lying form, a seated form and a standing form. It is through the use of these forms, and the levels they represent, that the system is able to –safely and effectively– address the exercise needs of people of all ages and states of health.
