High intensity interval training drives your cardiovascular system to improve blood flow in your brain. Cardiovascular health is directly related to brain health by increasing trophic factors that protect your neurons and help you grow new ones. With these healthy brain changes individuals with Parkinson’s disease are better able to learn and maintain movement and cognitive skills. You can expect an hour of brief, intense bursts of challenging activities followed by recovery breaks. Bring a bottle of water and your game-face, as this class is sure to be an excellent compliment to your Parkinson’s exercise program.

The results have been immediate. I feel better (more free in my movements) than I have since my diagnosis and will be discussing dropping one of my medication at my next neurological appointment.
“I look forward to my sessions with Valerie. The classes are fun but challenging.”
Valerie a just checking in to let you know my recovery has gone extremely well. Thank you for helping restore my balance and strength. You are a miracle worker.
“Keep up the great work, Val! I went to you for about two years for chronic vestibular balance and dizziness issues, and now I am so much better and these issues do not hinder my lifestyle. I think your optimism and energy were as important as the vestibular rehab exercises. You were more than just a physical therapist, but a PT/Life Coach! Thanks again for everything!”
“Valerie, you are doing great things!!! I wish my dad was your patient. He does not have Parkinson’s, but he has significant balance issues. PT has helped him immensely. I wish that you could evaluate him someday. You are one of the best!!!! I miss working with you!”
