Physical Therapy
Our Parkinson's friends are a good match for Wellness 360 Physical Therapy because our treatments are all one-on-one and individualized. Our highly trained Physical Therapists have specialized certifications for working with people with Parkinson's Disease. Working with a Physical Therapist with specialized training ensures you will get the most out of your treatment sessions.
Life with options is good! Wellness 360 would like to offer you location options to engage in Physical Therapy at our Webster or Rochester location, or in your home (Mobile). Read about our Mobile option.
Our Physical Therapists work within the guidance of the Parkinson's Wellness Recovery method (PWR). This method is a series of exercises designed to break down functional tasks into smaller pieces that the body can relearn. The movements focus on:
