Targeted Movement Therapy for Parkinson’s

Many people living with Parkinson’s say they feel their clearest, most mobile, and even most “normal” after a good workout. That’s because movement — when done with presence, structure, and support — activates healing on every level.

At our lab, movement is more than physical. It’s neurological. It’s emotional. It’s a way back into relationship with your body and activate your SPARK.

Our Targeted Movement Therapy blends postural training, mobility, cardio, strength work, balance strategies, and neuro-cognitive techniques to restore:

• 💙 Confidence
• 💙 Mobility
• 💙 Sensory awareness

The key is to keep moving — every day and throughout the day — in ways that feel adaptive, personal, and empowering.

Why It Matters

• 🧠 Neuroplasticity: Helps your brain form new movement pathways
• 🔄 Remyelination: Supports recoating and restoring nerve signals
• 🧘🏽‍♀️ Sensory reconnection: Rebuilds body awareness
• 💓 Healthy circulation: Improves blood, lymph, and energy flow
• 🌀 Nervous system regulation: Creates calm, clarity, and resilience
• 🚶🏽‍♂️ Functional movement: Supports confidence in daily life
• ✨ Post-workout clarity: Many feel clearer, more mobile, and more like themselves

“The movement is still there. The connections are still there. With the strength of the mind and the right support, they can be reawakened.”

We always consider safety: Whether seated, supported, or standing — movement is guided with care and structured to reduce risk while building confidence.

Personal Benefits You Can Feel

Clients often say:

“I feel like I’m back in my body again.”

“I didn’t think I could move that way anymore — but now I can.”

“I feel like I can get back to my golf game.”

• Improved confidence and body awareness
• Reduced risk of falling
• Strength, steadiness, and mobility
• Ease in daily routines and transitions
• Return to recreational or social activities
• Renewed self-trust and independence

Our Approach: Movement That Connects

Postural Re-education

We begin with posture — because posture supports everything. Breath, balance, and alignment become tools for daily well-being.

Strength Training

Using light weights, resistance bands, and flex cords, we build muscle and confidence — both physically and mentally.

Cardiovascular Training

Whether walking outside, on a treadmill, or using a recumbent bike or rowing machine — cardio supports brain function, heart health, and stamina.

Backward Walking (Retro Walking)

Physical benefits: Improves posture, activates the posterior chain (from feet to spine), enhances balance, reduces joint stress, and strengthens key muscle groups.

Cognitive benefits: Boosts brain activity, coordination, reaction time, and proprioception — increasing mental clarity and whole-body awareness.

Balance Training + VibePlate®

Using props and the vertical vibration of the VibePlate®, we restore balance and stability from the ground up — stimulating deep tissue response and nervous system connection.

Chair-Based + Everyday Movement

Micro-movements and simple resets you can use throughout your day — wherever you are, seated or standing.

Freezing, Falling & Functional Movement Plans

Freezing and falls don’t have to catch you off guard. With strategies and structure, we help you stay mobile, safe, and in control.

• 🔹 Visualization and rhythm-based cues like clapping, singing, or breath pacing
• 🔹 Following strategies using sight, sound, or tactile cues to initiate movement
• 🔹 Safe transitions: getting up from a chair or bed, turning, stepping through thresholds
• 🔹 Fall prevention routines: posture resets, balance practice, functional strength
• 🔹 Fall recovery strategies: how to land safely and reorient with confidence

With the right tools, you can feel strong, steady, and supported.
