This highly-specialized and highly-experienced team of occupational, physical and speech therapists provides patients with innovative, disease-specific treatment programs to treat the debilitating symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. The Outpatient Parkinson’s Disease Treatment Program addresses both motor and non-motor symptoms, including slowness and smallness of movement, rigidity, tremors, impaired balance and coordination, sleep disturbances, cognitive changes and pain.

HHH is the only facility in their area to offer both LSVT BIG™ and LSVT LOUD™. These programs are effective in improving independence with activities of daily living, improving speech and voice quality, managing impaired swallowing, increasing safety, walking, balance and quality of life. These programs are complemented by Parkinson Wellness Recovery™, an exercise program which holds the promise of slowing the progression of this disease.

While medications are beneficial in addressing PD symptoms, these therapies can help keep patients moving and functioning at their highest level.

The HHH Parkinson’s Disease Support Group meets the 3rd Friday of each month at 10:30am.
