Evidence Behind our Programs
Research on the Preventing Loss of Independence through Exercise (PLIÉ and Paired PLIÉ) program, the basis of MOVING Together online classes
Drugs to treat dementia and Alzheimer's Disease have yielded little to no positive effects in patients. Together instead uses alternative treatment strategies like group movement, mindfulness and social connection.
Our MOVING Together classes are based on the PLIÉ and Paired PLIÉ programs (Preventing Loss of Independence through Exercise) developed at the University of California, San Francisco and the Veterans Administration. This group-based program builds on elements that continue to work well for people experiencing cognitive decline such as muscle memory, mindful body awareness and social connection.
