PARKINSON’S AWARENESS MONTH

Not only is it Occupational Therapy Month, but it’s also Parkinson’s Awareness Month! Did you know that approximately 60,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) each year? But most people don’t really understand what PD really is. PD is a progressive disease that affects the central nervous system and the ability to coordinate movement in the body. The disease typically affects one’s ability to walk, develops tremors in the hands, and causes muscles to become rigid, making any kind of motion extremely difficult. PD can also affect speech, swallowing, balance and activities of daily living. Physical and speech therapy are key to help you improve your voice, range of motion, strength, stamina, and posture, so you can remain mobile and reclaim some independence in your life. With our LSVT LOUD, LSVT BIG, and Rock Steady Boxing programs, adapted for your individual needs, our therapists can help any patient in any stage of PD grow in mobility, strength, speech, and independence.
