🔵Moving Better with Parkinson’s Disease🔵

If you or a loved one is living with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), you know it’s more than just a tremor. It affects how you move, balance, and carry yourself. It can also bring on less obvious symptoms like fatigue, pain, and changes in your mood or memory.

While there isn’t a cure yet, Physical Therapy can help manage the symptoms and help improve day to day living through specialized treatments and strategies through the LSVT BIG Program.

🔹Building Strength: PD can cause muscles to weaken over time. We use targeted resistance training to build the strength you need for daily activities.

🔹”Thinking Big" for Better Movement: PD often makes movements smaller and slower (like shuffling feet or smaller handwriting). We use specialized programs, like LSVT BIG, to retrain your brain and body to use bigger, more intentional movement.

🔹Restoring Rhythm: Walking involves rhythmic movements, like swinging your arms. PD can disrupt this rhythm. Tools like ellipticals, bicycles, or even dance to help your body find its rhythm again.

🔹Balance and Posture: PD affects the brain's ability to process balance signals from your eyes and inner ear. We use stability challenges, like practicing on uneven surfaces or with your eyes closed to keep you steady on your feet and prevent falls.

🔹Managing Stiffness: Muscle rigidity is a common challenge with PD. Regular, focused stretching of the hips, hamstrings, and calves can reduce pain and keep you flexible.

Take the Next Step ➡️ Living with PD requires a proactive team. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been managing PD for years, a physical therapist can provide the education and exercises you need to live well!

What does “Getting Better” mean to YOU?

Everyone has different goals and lifestyle expectations, and your recovery plan should be unique to you. Wanting to play a round of golf pain free, get back in the garden, walk around the block, pick up your grandchild?

Let your physical therapist work with you to keep you motivated and hitting your goals to be a better YOU!

February is Heart Health Month

❤️

You don’t have to run a marathon to have a healthy heart

Brisk walking, biking, or even hobbies such as gardening can be beneficial to blood pressure and longevity. Just 150 minutes of moderate activity every week can make a difference!

There is a major difference between lifespan and healthspan. Lifespan is how long you live, but healthspan is how long you stay mobile and independent.

Data shows that subtle declines in balance, mobility, and grip strength often go unnoticed until they result in chronic pain or acute injury. By identifying these issues early, physical therapists can intervene before they escalate into major mobility issues.

If you have noticed any of these subtle or rapid changes and would like to check in with your physical therapist, we can kick off 2026 in the right direction!

The holidays are in full swing! 🎄
But - don’t let stress and full schedules stop you from being and feeling your best. Here are a few tips to help keep things light and jolly.

🟢 Intentionally park farther away from your destination to get more steps in during the day, but be sure to walk carefully due to snow and ice.

🔴 Movement and stretch breaks throughout the day to keep you from getting tight, especially in colder weather.

🟢 Aim for a brief, brisk walk after large holiday meals to aid digestion and promote relaxation.

🔴 Periodically checking in to ensure your shoulders are relaxed (pulled back and down) and that your head is balanced over the spine.

🟢 Utilizing slow, deep abdominal breaths when feeling overwhelmed to activate the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous system, which promotes muscle relaxation.
