I grew frustrated with the modern medical model of physical therapy and itās limitations in creating lasting behavior change for people with Parkinsonās in regards to keeping up with prescribed exercise programs at home. The changes that happened during the pandemic motivated me to dig deep to find an innovative way to help people with Parkinsonās make a healthy, balanced, and active lifestyle par
t of who they are. I began to realize that what people need to integrate movement into their own selves includes:
š§ Knowledge
š§Problem Solving and
š„°Support
Yes, I believe that you hold the cards to heal from Parkinsonās! I believe that most of that healing comes from self assessment and lifestyle modification. I understand that it is hard work to undertake such a task alone. Through this realization I created my 5 step Wholehearted Movement Method to walk people with Parkinsonās through from uncertainty to a embodied, movement-based lifestyle designed to reduce symptoms and reverse the progression. Each step forms a foundation to build you up to your highest level:
1. Light your Heart Fire ā¤ļøāš„
4. Move with Purpose šļøāāļø
Each of these steps utilizes evidence based modern medical science that is not being utilized by most Western Medical Doctors. The Delta Star practice model attempts to use the 3 points of the triangle to bring into balance Mind, Body, and Environment š. To your support I bring to the table 7 years experience as a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in bio mechanical orthopedics and Parkinsonās Disease with certifications in both LSVT BIG and PWR!Moves frameworks, joint ROM improvement and strengthening through FRCĀ® Certification, and stress reduction and autonomic nervous system balancing through HeartMathĀ® Certified Practioner. If you are interested in learning more about how I can guide you to a new life living alongside Parkinsonās, please reach out to schedule a free 30 minute consultation.
