Balance Training
Yes, safety will be stressed!
With and without your physical therapist, there are a lot of things you can do to improve your sense of balance. Dr. Mischley will go over the pros and cons of various balance boards, tight ropes, and playful training tools.
Pelvic Floor Training
Tantric exercises have evolved to vaginal video games! The PeriFit device is an example of a device that uses biofeedback and positive reinforcement through the device. Great for women with incontinence, but good for anyone who sits too much, has poor vaginal tone, and those that need to tighten their core strength.
Gait Training
OFF episodes occur when the body runs out of dopamine, either because you didn't take it, or the stuff you took isn't doing it's desired job.
Tricks for geeting moving when stuck.
