Managing Parkinson’s can seem like a daunting task. Due its progressive nature, it is easy to have a very pessimistic attitude when dealing with the disease. But NOT in our physical therapy clinic. With the LSVT program, we make sure that patients know that they can continuing LIVING with the disease as long as they are willing to put in the work. And it definitely IS possible to continue on, even with the disease.
With a degenerative disease like Parkinson’s disease, there are many who think that there’s nothing that can be done to slow its’ effects save for medications. But we’re here to tell you that’s not the case at all! With the LSVT BIG program, we have helped so many Parkinson’s patients over the past couple of years regain movement that they had thought was lost forever!
On Fridays, we normally try to spotlight one of our many Elizabeth or Jersey City Physical Therapy success stories. Our hope is that in seeing the amazing things that can be accomplished with Physical Therapy, that more people would see Physical Therapy the way that we do: that maintaining an active lifestyle is the way to a healthier, better life.
But today, I was forwarded this storyand I had to share this with all our readers as the ULTIMATE success story.
We are happy to announce that Physical Therapist Dr. Asha Koshy and Physical Therapist Assistant Diana Raa are now certified in the LSVT BIG method for Parkinson’s Disease treatment, making the Elizabeth clinic the first Physical Therapy clinic in Elizabeth, NJ to offer this revolutionary treatment for Parkinson’s Disease.
We are very proud to announce that the Jersey City clinic is now certified in the innovative LSVT BIG method for Parkinson’s disease treatment, the first clinic to do so in all of Hudson County.
Operating in downtown Jersey City since 2007, they were previously the first to offer specialized dizziness/vertigo programs and more recently, in 2014, they became the first outpatient clinic in Hudson County to offer the revolutionary AlterG Anti-Gravity Treadmill for athletic training and PT.
