Parkinson’s Training
Physical and Occupational Therapy
Parkinson’s disease may cause you to move more slowly. You may also feel tightness, stiffness, pain, and weakness, especially in the muscles and joints. Rehabilitative therapy can help you compensate for the changes brought about by this condition and slow the progression of the movement related symptoms. Our specialized physical and occupational therapists are LSVT Big® certified.

Speech Therapy
Dysarthria (difficulty speaking) and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) can be severely limiting symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Both can be addressed by a speech language pathologist.
Our therapists can help patients maintain communication skills and teach them energy-conserving techniques. Our specialized therapists are LSVT Loud® certified.
