Walking with poles is a fun way to engage the whole body, increase arm swing, and promote upright posture and confidence in persons with PD. Pole walking lengthens steps and improves walking speed and efficiency. This class also utilizes hand held poles for stretching, strengthening, improving balance, confidence, and reducing pain from PD. Walking with poles in a fun atmosphere is a great way to increase endurance in the company of friends. Every one of our Parkinson’s exercise classes is tailored to each individual’s ability and goals. Bring your walking poles and a water bottle to stay hydrated for a one hour combination of warm up stretches, long distance walking, and drills for an efficient total body workout.

“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!”
“I look forward to my sessions with Valerie. The classes are fun but challenging.”
I cannot be strong enough in my recommendation to seek out Dr. Johnson, or physical therapy. The education in exercise technique is immensely valuable. The gift of a transformed mindset regarding real engagement in that exercise is priceless.
