Beating Parkinson's, Backed By Science
Beat PD Today In The News
We are not just another exercise program!
We are a research-based exercise program crafted explicitly by a person with Parkinson's for individuals sharing the same condition, representing a uniquely empathetic approach to managing the disease. The program leverages the personal insights and experiences of its creator, who understands the physical challenges and nuances of Parkinson's firsthand.

“Beat PD’s High-intensity Exercise Program showed brain-protective effects that have the potential to not just slow down, but possibly reverse, the neurodegeneration associated with PD.” Dr. Sule Tinaz, MD, PhD, Associate Professor of Neurology, Yale School of Medicine
“This is the first time imaging has been used to confirm that the biology of the brain in those suffering with Parkinson’s disease is changed by intense exercise."

WHERE EXERCISE MEETS NEUROSCIENCE
At Beat PD Today, we're not just another exercise program for those living with Parkinson's disease; we are pioneers in transformative, science-backed therapy.
Here's what sets up apart:
-
Cutting-edge scientific research: Brain imaging methods verify our routines genuinely alter the biology of the brain
-
Ongoing clinical study​: Beat PD Today teamed up with Yale University to conduct a clinical trial focused on our unique exercise regimen
-
Pathway to neuroplasticity: Each exercise movement is designed to forge and strengthen neural connections disrupted by Parkinson's

Beat PD and Yale University partner in a clinical trial that was recently published in a medical journal.
We are the only Parkinson's exercise program that has utilized brain imaging to verify that our exercise routines genuinely alter the biology of the brain. This isn't just exercise; it's a pathway to neuroplasticity, where each movement is designed to forge and strengthen neural connections disrupted by Parkinson's.

MEET BEAT PD TODAY FOUNDER
Michelle was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease at the age of forty. Her diagnosis was devastating, but she quickly decided to help the cause by joining clinical trials, starting a support group for young people with Parkinson’s, and eventually creating an exercise program called Beat Parkinson’s Today.
