About Our Program
- The Dan Aaron Stay Fit Exercise Program is designed for Individuals with Parkinson Disease or Multiple Sclerosis.
- All participants require a referral or clearance to exercise from a physician. Before entry into the group setting, each individual will meet with one of the physical therapists for an individual evaluation to determine the appropriate level of initial activity.
- The class meets twice a week for an hour each time during the Fall, Spring, and Summer academic semesters at Arcadia University. The cost is $5 for each session attended.
- The Stay Fit program does not replace specific physical therapy when needed and cannot be reimbursed as physical therapy.
- Two major goals are accomplished with this program. First, individuals have a safe place to exercise. And second, Arcadia’s physical therapy students experience extended learning, under supervision, with individuals who are actively managing a chronic disease.
