Movement should be enjoyable and individualized to your needs. We recognize that every person with Parkinson’s is unique and we all have unique movement goals. Using our specialized knowledge in neurologic wellness care, we will help you make healthy brain changes- a phenomenon called neuroplasticity. This in turn helps you make movement changes that will last!
