At some point in your recovery you’ll have to step outside your comfort zone and push your limits. And it’s very important you do ✨

The other day, we helped our friend Drew check off a birthday wish he’s been holding onto… feeling like he was zip lining again after his stroke.

Using our Solo-step harness & TJ’s “full-send” push, Drew got to experience that sense of freedom and wind through his hair he’s been missing.

Moments like this matter the most!
Happy (belated) Birthday, Drew. 🎉

Speak with intent 💬✨

Our SPEAKOUT! Wellness Class brings together individuals living with Parkinson’s to keep their voice strong, their mind active & their confidence growing.

In these sessions, one group focused on vocal exercises for volume, clarity, and breath control. While another practiced cognitive prompts, reading aloud, answering questions & strengthening expressive communication in a supportive setting.

❄️🦃With the holiday season approaching (& the noise, conversations plus busy gatherings that come with it), these sessions help our clients feel confident communicating with loved ones and being understood above the bustle.
Because every voice deserves to be heard.

📍SPEAK OUT! Wellness Classes are offered at our Clinton Township and Livonia clinics.

If you or a loved one is living with PD, talk to your SLP next time you’re in on how to join this awesome group!

Obstacle course day for Jeff 👣😄

Living with both Parkinson’s & MS, Jeff is working hard on strengthening the foundations of safe, adaptable walking.

✅ This session layered in multiple real-world challenges:

1️⃣ River stone walking for dynamic balance & uneven surfaces

2️⃣ Step up + step over to train step height & clearance

3️⃣ Small hurdle stepping for coordination & rhythm

4️⃣ 4-square stepping over PVC pipes to target sequencing & direction changes

🔸Each station challenges a different functional skill part of gait - step height/length, balance & coordination! Helping Jeff build the confidence & control he needs to safely navigate everyday environments.

Great work today, Jeff! Proud of your hard work.👏

👉Key factors that affect rolling

👉Foundational skills to build

👉Mechanics of initiating the roll

This is Chuck 👋

He’s here at TRP working hard in rehab after a femur fracture but his story reaches far beyond our clinic walls.

Chuck is a T11 incomplete spinal cord injury survivor from a 2015 MVA, a professional chef, a mentor, and the heart behind “The Able Chef.”

After his accident, Chuck joined a community cooking class without mentioning that he was a chef. He couldn’t keep a secret for long & found himself being the one teaching!

💜 His journey and impact continue to inspire others. As Continental Serves shared:

“Through local news segments and community volunteer work, Chef Chuck shows that purpose, talent and drive don’t stop after hardship. His extraordinary palate, eye for talent and infectious energy continue to inspire others to pursue excellence in the culinary arts.”

🧑‍🍳And now, his legacy is growing even further with the newly announced Chef Chuck Sansone Culinary Arts and Hospitality Management Scholarship at Oakland Community College, created to support and uplift future chefs while carrying on his legacy.

🫶We’re honored to know him and proud to be part of his rehab journey. Chuck’s resilience, humility, and passion make him someone truly special. Inside and outside of TRP. 💪

✨Milestone Moments

Meet Daniel, a 22-year-old Northern Michigan University student whose world changed quickly this past spring.

Daniel began experiencing sudden neurological symptoms in April 2025 that prompted him to seek medical care immediately, including knee buckling, full-body tremors, blurred vision & other changes that limited his independence. By May, he received a diagnosis of Functional Movement Disorder (FMD).

But Daniel didn’t give up on the life, or trails, he loves!

💪 At our Lansing clinic, he completed TRP’s Functional Movement Disorder Program, where he learned how to:

✅Identify early cues of oncoming symptoms

✅Regulate & calm his autonomic nervous system

✅Manage symptoms with strategies he can use anywhere

✅Rebuild confidence in movement & daily life

And the progress shows.

🌟 This fall, Daniel made it back to Hogback Mountain! Navigating the trail with his friend Syd & a pair of hiking sticks, finishing the hike he wasn’t sure he’d be able to do again.

A huge win & a huge moment!

We’re incredibly proud of you, Daniel. Keep going, you’re writing one powerful comeback story.

Our version of a kickoff on this Friday 🥊

Meet Tres, a 32-year-old martial artist on a mission to rebuild strength, control, and power after a car accident earlier this year left him with a left femur fracture.

After a car accident resulted in a femur fracture, he’s been diligently working towards returning to a pain-free, independent life with his family.

💥 Today’s session packed a punch with the combos:

• Punch combos to focus mitts ➡️Coordination & endurance

• Squat & duck patterns ➡️Challenge LE strength & timing

• Switching stances w/pivots ➡️ Mobility & reactive balance

• Kicks to target for explosive strength & single leg balance

🧠 These drills simulate the quick reactions, directional changes and precision he’ll need as he works toward returning to martial arts, and eventually starting sword fighting classes.

👏 Keep it up, Tres. Your dedication and drive are unmatched!

Time for a tune up!

Don’t let your therapy benefits go to waste! 🔔

The end of the year is the best time to schedule PT, OT, or SLP visits to fine tune any last minute goals during the holidays. Especially if you’ve already met your deductible or still have unused visits on your plan. 😊

🗓️When January hits, benefits reset… so why not maximize what you already have?

💥Whether you’re managing chronic symptoms, bouncing back from an injury, or working toward big functional goals, our team can help you finish the year strong with personalized, evidence-based care!

Stepping up her balance training 👣 Christine is working on dynamic stepping over hurdles while searching for color targets that keep changing, helping her stay focused while building endurance, strength, and balance. When she reaches the designated color, she stops to catch and toss a ball, combining movement, attention, and adaptability. This dual-task approach boosts coordination, reaction time, and confidence while reducing fall risk — all skills that carry directly into safer, steadier movement in real life. Great job, Christine! 😊

11/11/2025

Who doesn’t love dual-tasking?
Not us! 🧠

Check out this cognitive + motor challenge for our friend, Rich, as he works hard to train both his brain & body at the same time!

🟢🔴🔵🟡Using Stroop Boards, Rich practiced multidirectional stepping with cognitive twists! Tasked with responding with the opposite foot or direction from what the board shows, then stepping to the matching dot with big stepping and amplitude for intentional movement patterns.

👀 Next task? Visually scanning to find lit up GREEN BlazePod, side stepping to it & completing the corresponding activity:

🥊Boxing sequences
💥Side-stepping with intent
⬆️High steps over hurdles

🎯 These drills progressively challenge coordination, timing, and cognitive processing all key for mobility and safety in individuals with Corticobasal Degeneration (CBD) and other forms of Parkinson’s.

🧠 And behind the scenes? Neuroplasticity at work principles like specificity, repetition & intensity help reinforce efficient & adaptable movement patterns for everyday life!
