Ping Pong for Good is a movement for brain health. We are on a mission to improve the quality of life for those living with neurological conditions (such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, MS, and ADHD) and promote better brain health at any age. We work with experts in neuroscience, physical fitness, active aging, and table tennis to develop a new protocol for therapy and fitness with exercises and drills inspired by the game that make playing ping pong a brain training activity with therapeutic benefits.

PPG Therapy and PPG Fitness can benefit those living with neurological conditions and promote healthy, active aging. We have identified a clear need for our programs from those that are living with brain disorders and from those seeking new ways to stay active given the physical limitations associated with growing older. We have also heard from the caregiving community and the providers who serve those living with these conditions associated with aging and brain diseases. that they are seeking programs like ours. Our programs provide a fun and beneficial way for people to engage physically, socially, and mentally while building community, even across generations!
