The PWR! Rock & Reach exercise (from Parkinson Wellness Recovery (PWR!)) is a dynamic, rhythmic movement that targets some of the biggest challenges in Parkinson’s disease: reduced weight shifting, reduced trunk extension and decreased movement amplitude.

This exercise re-trains lateral weight transfer, which is essential for side stepping, turning and initiating first step. The exaggerated reach to a target drives amplitude of movement which counteracts slow movements (bradykinesia) seen in PD, as well as trunk elongation and extension. It is also great for balance confidence!

It’s purposeful, big, and externally cued which is exactly what the Parkinson’s brain needs.

Big congratulations to Prab on completing his Basic Bobath training 👏

This is an intensive 6-month post-graduate program focused on the rehabilitation of individuals with neurological injury, grounded in current neurorehabilitation principles and hands-on clinical application.

Across the course, Prab developed advanced clinical reasoning in areas such as:
- Task-specific functional training
- Postural control and alignment
- Facilitation of selective movement
- Gait re-education and balance strategies
- Clinical handling to support neuroplastic change

As part of his training, Prab also completed a case study thesis, applying the Bobath approach with an Activate client and translating theory into meaningful, client-centred rehabilitation outcomes.

We are so proud of you Prab, and to see your dedication to ongoing learning and neurological rehabilitation practice 🌱

A diagnosis is one thing. Living with it is another.

If you’re in BC and navigating Parkinson’s, Parkinson Society BC is a strong resource for education, support, and awareness initiatives. There's so much good stuff from expert exercise videos, access to healthcare consultations and weekly support groups.

The PWR! Up exercise (from Parkinson Wellness Recovery (PWR!)) is a foundational movement designed to counteract the common flexed, stooped posture seen in people living with Parkinson’s disease.

It’s a big, intentional “down → up” movement, emphasizing amplitude, speed, and full-body extension. It's awesome for better posture including:
1) Encouraging spinal extension and dynamic stretch of the hip flexors and pectorals.
2) Counters the head forward and rounded shoulders posture typical in Parkinson’s
3) Improves perception and proprioception of upright alignment
4) Promotes movement through the often stiff trunk
5) Add BOOSTS like finger flick, timed with breathing mechanics or an added HOORAH for extra effort!

When your LiteGait battery dies mid-session and suddenly you’re not just a neuro physio… but also IT, maintenance, and emotional support 😅

Clinic owner life = wearing all the hats (and somehow making it look like part of the treatment plan).

If you’ve ever watched someone with Parkinson’s suddenly feel “stuck” while walking or turning, you know how scary that can be.

That “stuck” feeling is often described as freezing of gait, and while it varies person-to-person, cueing strategies can help many people restart movement.
Here are 3 simple ideas (practice in a safe space, ideally with someone nearby if balance is a concern):

1️⃣ Rhythm cue
Try a steady beat (counting, metronome, or a song with a strong tempo). Rhythm can help the brain time the step.
2️⃣ Visual target
Place a strip of tape on the floor and “step over the line.” Visual cues can reduce the “stuck” feeling.
3️⃣ Reset + BIG step
Pause. Stand tall. Shift weight. Then take one intentionally bigger step (rather than trying to shuffle out of it).

These aren’t magic tricks — they’re ways of giving the brain a different input to organize movement. If you want support with gait, turning, and fall prevention, this is exactly the kind of thing neuro physio helps with.

In Parkinson's disease, bradykinesia (slowness of movement) and rigidity (muscle stiffness) can change the way we walk.
Steps become: smaller, slower and less coordinated. 👉 This often shows up as a shuffled gait.

The good news? The nervous system still responds to the right input.
These drills are designed to:
✨ Warm up stiff muscles
✨ Increase movement amplitude
✨ Reinforce rhythm and coordination
✨ Remind the brain what a bigger, more confident walking pattern feels like

Regular and intentional practice can support better long term walking and balance.

What started as a lunch break turned into a full team effort — mirror arrived, and within minutes everyone jumped in without a word. No roles, no hesitation, just people who care about the space and each other getting it done.
That’s the kind of teamwork we bring into the clinic every single day — for each other and for our clients.

Some moments quietly remind you what this work is really about.

While you support a family through a difficult time, they show up in return—in the smallest, most thoughtful ways.

It’s never just about the treatment. It’s about trust, connection, and becoming part of each other’s lives 🤍
