The ETMC Rehabilitation Center Parkinson's Disease Program is aimed at promoting quality of life and independence for Parkinson's patients.
Coupled with expert medical and pharmacological management, the goal of the Parkinson�s Disease Program, is to help delay or minimize potential secondary Parkinson's impairments, promote functional mobility and slow the progression of functional limitation.
Our professional staff is qualified and interested in providing individualized Physical Therapy programs, which include:
- Comprehensive evaluation
- Determination of problem areas
- Goal setting
