Theracycle Rider Dr. Paul Gustavson: Keep Moving with Parkinson’s disease
Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in the early 2000’s, Dr. Paul Gustavson discovered the motorized Theracycle after hearing about a tandem bicycle study that showed the impact cycling could help patients with Parkinson’s disease symptoms. As a physician, he knew it was important to keep moving. Now, Dr. Gustavson has made the Theracycle a part of his day. “Because of the way its set up, I don’t have to do anything. I could literally sit on it and just put my feet in the stirrups… It’s a daily use for me; it basically gets my day going. I get up and set the pot of oatmeal… then get upstairs with the dog. He runs the treadmill while I do the Theracycle.”
“Maybe for the first five minutes I’m doing a little less than expected and then as time goes on, I can actually start pushing against the machinery and start to get some muscle toning out of it. …It’s become a part of my day, as much as my oatmeal.”
