Playing BrainSpeed® Ball for 5 minutes a day can help you (or the person you care about) to participate in the things you love. It’s a fun way to exercise the senses, optimize balance, and slow the progression of PD symptoms. BrainSpeed Ball® games are also a fun and engaging way to include family and friends.

According to the National Parkinson's Foundation (Parkinson.org), approximately 1 million Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease.  Although it is a progressive disease of the brain, research also tells us that you can do things to help your brain slow the progression of PD and the symptoms that come along with the disease.  You can then optimize each day by helping your brain and body with the things you have control over.

One of the ways you can do this is by exercising the sensory systems.  Both the visual and vestibular sensory systems are responsible for providing the information the brain needs to make decisions related to movement.  The BrainSpeed Ball® is an example of exercises and games that coordinate the visual and vestibular sensory systems to help with balance, coordination, and respond to the environment more quickly.

According to Johns Hopkins Physical Therapy: “Movement, especially exercises that encourage balance and use of both sides of the body can actually slow the progression of Parkinson's disease.”
