Delay The Disease
David Zid, an ACE, APG certified personal trainer and President of Columbus Health Works, in collaboration with a local surgeon, Thomas H. Mallory, M.D., have authored a user-friendly guide, detailing a Parkinson’s - specific exercise plan that can be used daily. Zid is an energetic trainer in the central Ohio area that has taken a specific interest in designing fitness regimens for individuals afflicted with Parkinson’s. Dr. Mallory, a prominent and internationally renowned orthopaedic total joint surgeon was diagnosed with PD several years ago. He has found that his enthusiasm for exercise has actually improved many of the symptoms of this progressive neurologic disease. He has been using Zid’s program for the last 2 years and is ecstatic with the results including improvement in balance, strength and flexibility. They both feel that these obviously positive results should be shared with all individuals with PD, from the newly diagnosed to those in the well-advanced stages of this affliction.
