Exercise Therapy Components

Balance

Balance can be improved; it just takes a little challenge or in some cases a big challenge. We train, practice, and educate the body during static and dynamic balance exercises.

Boxing

One of the best whole body and brain exercises one can do. Practically every aspect of Parkinson’s disease is targeted and challenged. Weight-shifting, balance, strength, and the coordination of it all make boxing a goal-based exercise in learning.

Cognition

Physical health is only half the battle. By challenging our minds, we can remain sharp, improve memory, and translate mindful engaged movements into a safer and more enjoyable quality of life.

Fall Prevention

Fall is a four letter F word we do not like to hear. We can teach you strategies to prevent falling, recognize situations where the potential for falling is higher, even the best way to fall. Everyone’s favorite is getting up and down off the floor.

Flexibility

General aging as well as Parkinson’s disease can result in stiff and tight muscles. Stretching is a standard portion of every session due to it’s importance for general health and wellbeing.

Gait

Walking is a gigantic component of one’s independence. Work with us to fine-tune the mechanics of walking and make this complex sequence of events into a simple cycle.

Posture

A stooped, or flexed, posture can be common as we age, especially in Parkinson’s disease. Learn strategies to increase the mindfulness that is necessary to remain in good posture.

Strength

Strength building enables us to live our lives to the highest quality possible from picking up grandchildren or picking ourselves up off the ground.
