Although major changes occurred during childhood, the belief was that these became minor and insignificant in adulthood. Today, we know this thinking to be false! Through much scientific research, we now know that our brains are capable of huge transformations and that our brains react to our environment, our thinking, our actions etc. Through a process called neuroplasticity, the brain\u2019s ability to reorganize itself by forming new nerve cell connections throughout life, we can retrain our brains to adapt to new challenges and realities. At the Cumming\u2019s Centre, the adapted training programs are informed by this research through the principles of repetition, intensity, intention, and specificity.<\/p>\n<h2>Cummings: Where Age Meets Inspiration<\/h2>\n<div class=\"x-resp-embed x-is-video x-is-youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Cummings Centre- Where Age Meets Inspiration- O\u00f9 l&#039;\u00e2ge trouve l&#039;inspiration\" width=\"890\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zHGY15aldKY?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>This last year of confinement has forced many, young and old, to a lifestyle of reduced activity, which in turn has led to physical and psychological challenges. For those over 100,000 Canadians living with Parkinson\u2019s disease, these impacts can further aggravate the symptoms of this movement disorder characterized by slowness of movement, rigidity, tremor, postural instability and changes in speech\/facial expressions.\u00a0 A great deal of research indicates that exercise can be the difference between dependence and independence for those living with PD.\u00a0 Yet nearly 40% of patients who have had PD for 10 years are not exercising. Lack of knowledge coupled with the belief that \u201cexercise can\u2019t help me\u201d create the perfect storm for rapid decline.<\/p>\n<p>For the 60% that have understood that movement is an essential part of treatment and are looking to exercise, the restrictive measures have made it difficult. In-centre programs have had to adapt to circumstances and step out of the box to meet the needs of those living with progressive diseases that feed off inactivity. Cummings Centre is one such centre. Well known for its Adapted Exercise Clinic, Cummings has taken the training philosophies and objectives informed by research and used for over 20 years in their clinic and transitioned them to the ZOOM platform so that anyone 50+ living with PD can participate in live classes from their own home, anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n<h2>Find the exercise that works best for you!<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32060\" src=\"https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/8.png\" alt=\"Group of people doing a virtual workout\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/8.png 600w, https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-150x85.png 150w, https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/8-100x56.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nTo learn about our upcoming season, <a href=\"https:\/\/cummingscentre.org\/registration\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">click here<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Success Stories at the Cumming\u2019s Centre<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Positive Impact on Daily Life <\/strong><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-32062\" src=\"https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/9.jpg\" alt=\"Cummings member Barbara Harbert\" width=\"437\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/9.jpg 437w, https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-273x300.jpg 273w, https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-137x150.jpg 137w, https:\/\/archiveparkinson.thedev.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/9-100x110.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 437px) 100vw, 437px\" \/><br \/>\nDiagnosed with Parkinson&rsquo;s disease, Cummings member Barbara Harbert has been an active participant in the Centre&rsquo;s adapted programs for some five years.
