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.
What makes Parkinson's Wellness different at Life Beyond Barriers
Education and support for family caregivers
An approach aimed to improve function and slow motor deterioration, by retraining sensory, motor, and cognitive functions through intensive exercise
Therapy that prioritizes skills for daily independence and safety
Baseline, follow-ups, and tune-ups offered regularly, to ensure maintenance of gains from therapy sessions
Use of pool (see Aquatic Therapy) to reduce the impact of gravity
Evaluation for mobility devices and adaptive equipment needs

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.
