Tango Therapy Gives Parkinson’s Patients in Argentina New Moves for Balance
In Buenos Aires, Ramos Mejía Hospital runs a weekly tango-therapy program for Parkinson’s patients, pairing participants with non‑patients and guiding them through warm-ups, balance work, and classic tango steps to improve gait, stiffness, and coordination while boosting social and emotional well‑being; started about 15 years ago by neurologists and researchers, it has served roughly 100 patients and highlights tango’s potential to retrain motor control in daily activities.
