Parkinson’s Disease & Movement Disorders Rehabilitation

Living with Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophy or other progressive neurological disorders requires more than taking medicine. It takes a strong dose of confidence and inner strength to face the disease head-on and take the initiative to continue living a rich, fulfilling life. Sarasota Memorial can help with the following programs that revolve around a healthy body, mind and spirit:

Parkinson's Disease Support & Education: Sarasota Memorial is proud to partner with the Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s to enhance education, support and resources in our community. Visit their website for information about local resources.

PWR!Moves

The PWR!Moves exercise program helps patients with Parkinson’s maintain or restore skills related to walking and functional movement. Problems in the home and community are identified and broken down to enable skill training for bigger and faster movement. Our physical and occupational therapists’ exercise approach will target multiple symptoms and allow for modification to meet a patient’s needs and goals.

SPEAK OUT!® Speech Therapy

SPEAK OUT!® is a therapy program that uses speech, voice and cognitive exercises to address speaking deficits caused by Parkinson’s disease and other neurological disorders. Participants typically meet with one of our certified speech pathologists for three 45-minute sessions per week for four weeks, but the therapy schedule can be modified to meet a patient’s needs and goals.

Participants advance from SPEAK OUT!® to weekly group sessions, which include specialist-led exercises and peer support. The group sessions, along with home practice and six-month re-evaluations, help patients maintain communication skills throughout the disease's progression. Call 941-917-1385 to schedule a speech evaluation.

Concussion Treatment

Sarasota Memorial’s Concussion team specializes in the treatment and prevention of traumatic sports injuries. Our state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment options are customized to help people recover safely and return as soon as possible to competition, play and everyday life.

For patients requiring physical and cognitive rehabilitation, Sarasota Memorial offers customized hospital-based and outpatient neuro-rehabilitation programs to meet each patient’s unique needs.
