Bernard and Denise Coley's Journey
Denise's initial internet searches were about exercise.
"I enrolled in Rock Steady Boxing classes. In these
classes you not only exercise, but are also introduced to a gigantic support group. This
was an important strategic decision in my Parkinson’s journey and has made the biggest
impact in my life.
Within months, I was boxing and participating in tai chi classes, attending a support
group, and trying complimentary therapies like acupuncture, holistic medicine, and
myofascial massage."
