Who might enjoy our programs:

SPECIALIZED EXERCISE PROGRAMS

Our Specialized Exercise Programs are designed to address the challenges specific to different diseases and disabilities. These programs are based on therapeutic exercises that have been shown to improve function in addition to cardio, strength and flexibility. With all of our programs we are able to adapt to your specific physical abilities. Our community based assistive exercise programs provide individual assistance if needed—just let us know you need a mentor.

STAR Center currently offers specialized exercise programs for those who have Parkinson’s Disease, Early Stage Dementia, and the Aging Population. STAR will be adding more programs in the coming year. If you have a specific request for a program please let us know.

ADAPTIVE RECREATION PROGRAMS

Adaptive Sports and Recreation Programs are designed for individuals who have difficulty in traditional recreation programs due to muscle coordination issues, low muscle tone, learning disabilities, or intellectual disabilities. If you need extra assistance to learn a new skill or to learn the rules of a game, these programs are a great fit. Participants may or may not have a physical disability.
