Help with Parkinson's Disease
When living with Parkinson’s Disease, each day is different. Simple movements like getting out of bed or walking to the bathroom can be a struggle. At Congruence Physical Therapy & Wellness, we teach, train and empower you to sustain your ability to perform these everyday functional movements as the disease progresses.
We utilize evidence based neuroplasticity principled exercises that have been shown to improve brain health, enhance motor skills and help sustain functional mobility.
In order to help slow down the disease process and minimize the extent of motor symptoms in Parkinson's Disease, exercise is like medicine. Be it imbalance or freezing of gait, we can provide training and coaching to learn strategies to reduce the impact of these impairments on your function.
Our model is to provide you with these consistent bouts of PD specific exercises as part of your lifestyle. Learning, practicing and challenging both the brain & body with our guidance will help change the trajectory of the disease.

What Our Clients Say
Grover, S.
I joined Rupali’s group workouts over a year and a half ago. Her creativity is impressive. During the year and a half, no two sessions have been the same. Every class has had different exercises or a different focus, all geared towards improving the motor and cognitive abilities of the participants. She looks at the details, such as correcting an individual’s form during an exercise, as well as the big picture, explaining how combining cognitive and physical exercises stimulates the brain. She emphasizes pushing yourself during the workouts. At the end of a workout she often asks each participant to rate their level of exertion.
I have been able to do a much wider range of exercises, and have a more vigorous workout, with Rupali and the others in the workout sessions than I was doing on my own. I strongly recommend Rupali’s group workout sessions.
