Parkinson’s Physical Therapy and Exercise

Here at Balance Therapy, we understand that a combination of specific exercises, an intentional mindset, and a supportive environment is a recipe for brain change in people with Parkinson’s disease. And, physical therapy along with exercise is essential in managing your Parkinson’s.

Exercise is a wonderful way to rewire the neural connections in your brain to make movement easier. We offer physical therapy and group exercise classes for Parkinson’s that will challenge your movement and cognitive abilities so that you can enjoy a better life.

Functioning on a daily basis can be a difficult chore for those with imbalance and dizziness. You may be one of the many that wade through a series of multiple providers and ineffective treatments before arriving at a solution from a specialized physical therapist.

Valerie evaluates and treats underlying causes of imbalance, falls, and dizziness. Based on the results from your interview and testing, Valerie prescribes exercises and treatments so that you may reduce symptoms, restore confidence, and resume your life.
