NATIONAL PICKLEBALL MONTH – Benefits of Playing.
🏓 April is National Pickleball Month!
Did you know pickleball can be a great activity for individuals living with Parkinson’s?
It can help support:
✔️ Balance & coordination
✔️ Mobility & flexibility
✔️ Mental focus
✔️ Social connection
Plus, it’s fun, easy to learn, and can be played by all ages!
Even light movement and friendly games can make a meaningful difference.
As a caregiver, encouraging safe, enjoyable activities like pickleball can help boost both physical and emotional well-being.
Start slow, play at your own pace, adapt to ability level, consult with a healthcare provider when needed, and enjoy the moment!
SPECIAL NOTE: The Bismarck Parkinson’s Support Group offers pickleball classes the second Wednesday of each month at Capital Racquet & Fitness. For more information or to register, contact Donna at 701-301-3918 or Vonda at 701-391-6963.
