Parkinson's, Occupational Therapy + Exercise

Occupational Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease: Boxing

Our patients need to be challenged in exercise when it comes to occupational therapy for Parkinson’s Disease! In this episode, Chad Moir, OTS discusses how he is honoring his mother’s legacy by helping others live with PD – working with them with exercise and the Rock Steady program. Plus, how he integrates wellness groups and social support for his clients, all while finishing up his degree in occupational therapy for patients with parkinson’s disease.

He is helping them live life to the fullest!
