Ivana, a retired kindergarten /4th grade teacher, and I talk about the improvements she saw in her balance and posture and overall mobility soon after starting the LSVT BIG program.
She talks about her Urban Poling Stability poles and the benefits she has had since starting to walk with them. We talk about knee replacements, one last year and another scheduled for the end of this summer, and which class to begin after she graduates from this round of physical therapy.
Ivana mentions that she does not have tremors. According to the Parkinson's Foundation about 70% of people with PD experience tremors.

We mention Anita O'Brien helping businesses in the area becoming accessible to those with physical challenges. I should have said Rochester Accessible Adventures (not access Rochester) here is a link to the site https://rochesteraccessibleadventures.org/
We also talk a little about medication. It is always best to consult with your pharmacist about how to take your medication to optimize its effect.
