REED. Parkinson’s disease is a brain disorder that causes stiff muscles, tremors, problems with balance, and difficulty walking, moving, and coordinating. In Austria, around 20,000 people are affected by the progressive neurological Parkinson’s disease. The number of people affected will increase in the next few years. There is currently no cure, but a targeted music and movement routine can help slow the progression of the disease and give those affected hope and confidence.
The pilot project has been running at the Ried State Music School for a year “Dance – elixir of life for Parkinson’s disease”. The project was founded and led by Margit Wallner from Pramet. The artistic music and dance therapist is organizing the lecture for anyone interested on Sunday, January 21st, from 11 a.m “Why dance is helpful for Parkinson’s disease”. This takes place in the Salesian Hall of the Ried State Music School. During the event, the therapist will report on her experience and research results.
Guests of honor and questions
Gurtner Karl-Heinz Stadlbauer, medical director of the Kepler University Hospital in Linz, and Michaela Steffelbauer, neurologist and president of Parkinson Self-Help Upper Austria, will be guests of honor.
Following the lecture, there will be the opportunity to ask questions about Parkinson’s in the form of an open dialogue. Admission is free, voluntary donations requested.
