Who's Tom & Dick
In the ring with Parkinson's disease
Season 2 - Episode 31
In the ring withParkinson's disease
The boys are out on their travels again but this time they are visiting a Centre set up for people battling Parkinson's Disease through a Boxercise session.
Parkinson's disease is a progressive brain condition that affects movement, balance, and coordination. It's caused by the death of nerve cells in the brain, which leads to symptoms that can worsen over time.
After years of progress, a disease that was once considered untreatable has come to show promising advancements when placed in the right hands of Movement Disorders specialists. Equipped with the right tools and an increased understanding, specialists now have the power to vastly improve the quality of life for the patients affected.
Dopamine plays a vital role in regulating the movement of the body. A reduction in dopamine is responsible for many of the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Exactly what causes the loss of nerve cells is unclear. Most experts think that a combination of genetic and environmental factors is responsible.
Today the boys have the opportunity to speak with Head coach Ivan Ambrose about the valuable boxercise sessions he provides for people with Parkinson's Disease and the impact it has on their lives.
The Boy's also speak to two participants of the class today, Lisa and David who both have differing levels of Parkinson's disease, they tell us about their illness, their coping mechanisms and what the Boxercise class means to them.
This was an eye opening experience for both Martin & Patrick and certainly reinforces how exercise in any form can help illness and just as importantly the mind helping to have a positive mental attitude.
