The Recovery Project is an industry-leading rehabilitation practice that provides evidence-based focused physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy for individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease.
Exercise is a vital component to maintaining balance, mobility, and activities of daily living in people with Parkinson’s Disease. Research shows that exercise and physical activity can not only maintain and improve mobility, flexibility and balance but also ease non-motor PD symptoms such as depression, declined cognition and constipation. The Parkinson’s Outcome Project shows that people with PD who start exercising earlier in their disease course for a minimum of 2.5 hours per week experience a slowed decline in quality of life compared to those who start later. The Recovery Project has developed a comprehensive multidisciplinary program that follows and provides evidence-based therapies and extensive education on disease management to individuals who have been diagnosed with PD. The Recovery Project has been providing evidence-based rehabilitation in an outpatient environment for the past 20 years and has a knowledge of what patients are missing in traditional PT, OT and SLP to reach optimal management of their disease. With the restrictions that insurance companies put on the number of visits allowed for such therapies per year, many PD survivors finish rehabilitation with poor outcomes. Power Over Parkinson Program (POPP) is an comprehensive, multi-discipline, intensive, evidence-based program that provides PT, OT, SLP, training, wellness programing and education to PD patients in a program consisting of 5-6 hours per day 3X days per week for a 2 week duration.
