Walking on the treadmill doesn’t have to be boring! By layering purposeful challenges and cues, we can improve gait mechanics, promote bigger and more efficient steps, and build confidence that carries over beyond the clinic.

What are your favorite treadmill interventions?

We got a lot of comments on our recent Sit-to-Stand PWR!Moves video so we wanted to show something important - there’s no one “right” way to do these moves.

Here one of our members with Parkinson’s uses her walker, takes extra attempts, uses her hands for support, and sits on a double stacked chair because that’s what works for her.

Exercises can and should be modified to meet your needs and ability. Our goal is to share ideas, not to suggest everyone should move the same. And always work with a qualified therapist or exercise professional to ensure safety.

We love hearing from our former students… but texts like this? We really, really love!

It’s incredible what the right knowledge and the right exercises can do for functional mobility — and we’re so proud to see our students like Laurie carrying that impact forward.
