The exercise program is a collaboration between a certified personal trainer, David Zid, a nurse, Jackie Russell and an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Thomas Mallory, who retired due to Parkinson's disease. The idea was sparked when Dr. Mallory discovered that a daily exercise routine created for him by Zid seemed to dramatically improve his symptoms. The result was a book detailing a fitness plan for Parkinson's patients at every stage of the disease. The 70 page spiral bound book lays flat enabling the person to easily consult each Parkinson's specific exercise which is illustrated in full color with a detailed description on how to perform the exercise. Emphasis is placed on activities of daily living that frequently become a challenge to those with Parkinson's, such as rising from a chair or moving around in crowds. The program is well thought out and works the entire body.
