Pilates 4 Parkinson's

Pilates 4 Parkinson’s (P4P) is a specialized movement and education program dedicated to helping people with Parkinson’s disease preserve their movement independence through safe, purposeful exercise. Founded by Cecilia Pulido, M.S., NCPT, P4P integrates Pilates principles with evidence-informed exercise, functional movement, balance, gait, posture, spinal mobility, strength, and neurocognitive strategies. Programming is adaptable across all stages of Parkinson’s and emphasizes three essential movement priorities: Upright Posture, Spinal Mobility, and Ambulation & Gait. Through Pilates 4 Parkinson’s and the Parkinson’s Teacher Training Academy, P4P also provides specialized education for Pilates teachers, movement professionals, and caregivers who want to better understand Parkinson’s and confidently support this growing population. At the heart of P4P are four guiding principles: Encourage • Educate • Empower • Exercise — with the goal of helping every person move with greater confidence, capability, and independence.
