Fall Prevention
One in four adults 65 and older experience a fall annually. Many falls are preventable. Do you know where you are vulnerable? I can help focus your energy on what is really the weakest link in your balance portfolio. I can't fix where the fly balls go!
Parkinson's Disease
My first exposure to Parkinson's disease occurred during my internships, where I was part of a team helping physicians titrate medications to quiet tremors. At the time, a missing piece was a treatment to help patients self-regulate their own movement dysfunctions. LSVT BIG has since become the gold standard in this field. As an LSVT-certified professional, I can work with you to keep you in the boat!
Home Safety Evaluation
Our home! It is where we live. It is our sanctuary. From designing a full care-giver suite, to a grab bar, I can help you feel secure in your home. If you are considering a move to a higher level of care, I can help you regain the strength you might need to stay in place - with family and/or furry friends.
Vertigo | BPPV
Actively spinning, nauseated, and unsteady is not a safe condition to drive in and, waiting for an outpatient appointment while symptomatic often means suffering through days of avoidable dizziness. A single well-timed treatment can often resolve it entirely.
Pre-Post Surgery
Surgery is often just the first step. What happens in the weeks after determines whether you fully bounce back or end up limited for months. Let Stride maximize your potential.
