The treatment of Parkinson's disease is based on several factors, particularly the integration of an exercise program. These promote the maintenance of independence and help to maximize the effect of the antiparkinsonian medication, which provides a better quality of life.

• improve muscle flexibility,
• range of motion
• the coordination,
• the balance,
• elocution and dexterity,
• to strengthen the extensor muscles, which among other things help keep the back straight,
• to act on stiffness and postural problems,
• to reduce fatigue,
• promote muscle relaxation and relieve cramps,
• to act on stress, depression, insomnia, constipation.
• Studies also suggest that exercise may slow the progression of Parkinson's disease.
