G.Recommendations

One older gentleman in a life improvement program in New York City, Edward, suffers from Parkinson's disease and has been having increasing difficulty moving around. His family has been very grieved by his c​ondition as his symptoms are unfortunately increasing with age. However, the director of the program wanted to personally reach out on behalf of Edward and his family to thank the Parkinson Support Group of the Finger Lakes in upstate New York for the resources on its website as they have provided invaluable tools to creating a pain management and lifestyle plan that Edward's family can implement at home.

The daughter of Edward, further, wished to pass on a website that has many recommendations for the Person with Parkinson such as exercise and diet our members might wish to view. We are not recommending any other advertised information on this site.
