“Awake each morning: Each new day renews our life, our contract to keep living. Strive to live-forward, and always remember that we’re still in the driver’s seat of our world. Live decisively even as we accept the problems from Parkinson’s.”

Are you or someone you know living with Parkinson's disease? If you're between the ages of 50 and 80, you may be eligible to participate in an exciting research study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill!

This study is exploring how timing your steps to a metronome during treadmill and overground walking training can improve walking ability. By participating, you'll receive free walking PT from our highly skilled Physical Therapists and contribute to groundbreaking research aimed at improving mobility for people living with Parkinson's disease. You will also be compensated up to $250 for your participation.
