KTAL’s Mesilla Valley Sports Show featured Carol Witham, leader of a local exercise program for people living with Parkinson’s disease, who discussed the growing impact of the neurological disorder and the important role that exercise plays in managing its symptoms. Witham explained how research has shown that regular physical activity can improve balance, mobility, strength, and overall quality of life, while also slowing the progression of the disease.
