Welcome to Parkinson’s Online Fitness Program

Since 2003, Mwezo Kudumu of Kujiweza Healing Arts has been remarkably successful at helping hundreds of people, between the ages of 40 – 100 cope with motor and non-motor dysfunctions caused by Parkinson’s.

People are told by their health care provider that they have this incurable progressive disease… Our Parkinson’s Online Fitness exercise program offer members a way to keep from getting worse. The Parkinson’s Online Fitness program empowers People Living with Parkinson’s (PLWP) with tools to help improve their health and slow the progression of the disease. One woman described Parkinson’s as being trapped in her body because of the debilitation caused by her stooped, rigid posture, her tremor and slowness of movement. After a few months of regular training with our program she had reduced her tremor, improved flexibility, strength, balance, timing and small motor skills.

We fit exercise to treat the problem. We have organized 100’s of exercises into highly effective routines and tailored them to meet the needs of PLWP. Most of the exercise can be performed seated or standing. We encourage people to work at their own pace. We are reaching out to as many Parkinson’s patients as possible to give them the tools that they need to improve their health and their ability to cope with this disease, in the convenience of their own home.

Join our class and let us help you focus on stabilizing your health and maintaining your independence. Your Life can become better, your symptoms more manageable and you can gain back balance, coordination, dexterity, strength, flexibility, endurance and can live a high quality, happy life.
