Interested in Starting Your Own PPP Chapter?
At PingPongParkinson, we believe in the power of community—and we’d love for you to be a part of our journey. Our goal is to reach as many people with Parkinson as possible, expanding into new cities and towns across the globe.
We invite you to start your own local PPP chapter and watch it grow into a vibrant community focused on healing, support, and connection. We receive numerous requests from individuals eager to attend PPP sessions in areas we haven’t yet reached. With our guidance, you have the opportunity to create a lasting impact and bring hope to those who need it most.
Get started by following the steps below.
1. Learn About PingPongParkinson®
PingPongParkinson is a non-profit organization dedicated to slowing the progression of a Parkinson Diagnosis. Using ping pong as a form of physical therapy, our model is based on the concept of neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to form new neural connections through challenging physical exercise.
