Rise and Rewire: PD Bootcamp

Description

This spring, Jillian will be partnering with physical therapist Vanessa Kaczmarek of Neuroactive Therapy and Wellness and music therapist Hannah Oakes of Rooted Music Therapy to conduct our second round of Rise and Rewire: PD Bootcamp, a two-week intensive program designed to target motor, cognitive, and communication symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Program Highlights: What it is: A 2-week immersive bootcamp blending functional exercise, music therapy, and speech/cognition training. Participants will receive tools they can carry into daily life to help manage symptoms and support long-term wellness. When/Where: March 30 - April 10 at Nexus in Homewood. Sessions meet Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for one hour. Education Component: Each session will be followed by a 30-minute wellness lecture on topics related to Parkinson's care. Time: 1:30-3:00 on M, W, F Assessments: All participants will complete pre- and post-program testing to measure progress. Eligibility: Participants should be able to walk without an assistive device, stand from a chair independently, and tolerate one hour of activity. Our goal is to provide people with Parkinson’s a supportive, multidisciplinary experience that combines movement, voice, cognition, and wellness education. We would be grateful if you could share this opportunity with others in the community!
