Parkinson’s Wellness

While others look at “a diagnosis” when it involves Parkinson’s, we think it’s more important to see the person. Their story and their goals. By doing this first, we’re better able to help maintain their quality of life. We recognize we cannot change the course of the disease process. However, we believe we can promote the integrity of a person’s desires and goals. This can be accomplished with an individualized, intimate approach.

Evaluation Process

After an initial evaluation by the PT / OT /SLP, we recommend a treatment plan. The plan is unique to the client—their goals and needs, plus the therapist’s findings and knowledge. The frequency and duration of therapy sessions are based on the physician’s prescription and recommended treatment plan.
