Parkinson's Disease Patient Has Incredible Results After Therapy

"I tagged many of my friends who are therapists to share the results that I had with a patient of mine who has Parkinson's Disease. The results were instantaneous and phenomenal! But let me start at the beginning, on the first therapy session with Larry he presented with the classic textbook style gait pattern of a person with Parkinson's Disease, I went with the traditional approach during our gait training session which yielded very little results. You see the problem is that Larry like many others with Parkinson's know what they are supposed to do and how they are supposed to do it but their bodies simply won't cooperate. So I thought to myself there just has to be a better way, I went home did a little research and came across a study that used music to aid in facilitating a more natural gait pattern.Show more

"On my next session with Larry I used my phone to play a song that I felt like had a good rhythm to ambulate to and honestly I don't know who was more shocked at the immediate results! He just took off walking without a hitch, we walked all over his house, even through doorways with ease which previously had been very difficult for him! I literally had goosebumps for hours! He became so steady and confident that he just pushed his walker off to the side and continued to ambulate without any AD! I have never seen results of this magnitude this quickly before and by the end of the session we were all in tears but they were definitely happy tears!"

***A special thanks to Larry and his sweet wife Kathy Pruitt Jennings for allowing me to share their story with you and hopefully get the word out so that others with Parkinson's might have the same results!

***A big shout out to the camera guy with his mad videotaping skills and for taking time out of his day to come help me with this!
