ForwardUpdates in Neuro-Rehabilitation for Parkinson’s Disease
For healthcare professionals working with people living with Parkinson’s disease (PD), the right interventions can make all the difference in preserving mobility, independence, and quality of life.
This course equips physicians, physical therapists, and advanced practice providers with the knowledge and confidence to prescribe optimal exercise regimens, apply evidence-based strategies for evaluating and rehabilitating freezing of gait, and implement a proven framework for delivering and securing insurance coverage for maintenance physical therapy.
Participants will also discover the potential benefits of blood flow restriction therapy as an emerging tool in PD care.
By combining expert-led instruction with practical resources and actionable tools, this course empowers clinicians to deliver more effective, personalized care—leading to better outcomes for people with Parkinson’s.
