Ping Pong Workshop

You may have heard that ping pong has clearly been shown to have a positive impact on the progression of Parkinson’s and in a way that medication alone is not doing.
While all forms of exercise are beneficial, the thing that makes ping-pong unique is that it incorporates a focus on balance, hand-eye coordination, and the rhythm or pace of reciprocal play. It really hits the trifecta of physical, cognitive, and social activities.
We are partnering with the Milwaukee Table Tennis Club (MTTC) and they are hosting the ping pong workshop. This workshop will be exclusively for WPA community and free of charge. There will be MTTC volunteers available to demonstrate the basic table tennis strokes and provide instruction for attendees. No equipment necessary, MTTC has 10 tables, paddles, and balls.
Space is limited, register today!

Urban Poling Workshop
2026-04-16 13:30 - 15:00 | Dove Healthcare, 1405 Truax Blvd, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, 54703
Registration is open for the first workshop for 2026! Thanks again for another year of support from the Wispact Foundation! The grant will be used for Urban Poling workshops to provide equipment and training to 100 people with Parkinson’s. Attendees will receive the Activator Technique training by certified Urban Poling Instructor and one set of ACTIVATOR℗ Poles*
Walking poles ensure better balance and posture, by keeping the walker more upright. At the same time, taking longer strides will stretch the limbs and keep the body rotated, which can help loosen up and improve coordination. People with Parkinson’s agree, and report that, using the ACTIVATOR℗ Poles promotes greater independence and improves quality of life.
This workshop will provide the equipment, ACTIVATOR® Poles and training for 25 individuals with Parkinson’s disease. After registration, we will contact you regarding eligibility and to answer any questions you may have.
*Note: Eligibility is for those individuals with Parkinson’s, and to those who do not own a pair of ACTIVATOR℗ Poles received at a previous Urban Poling workshop. Spouses and care partners are encouraged to attend. Additional poles will be available for sale.
