I have been working with Meghan O'Connell for about four months now to develop a program to assist me with my Parkinson's which I diagnosed with approximately eight years ago. The main problems were stiffness of the legs, a listing in my posture and a sciatic nerve problem which often follows as a result of PD.

I'm pleased to state that we're making surprising progress to all three issues as a result of a program of stretches, breathing and walking on both treadmill and with applied resistance that Meghan has set up. I hope to be able to discontinue the use entirely of all pain killer medications I have relied on for much of the past several years.

YES, finally I can feel that I am getting past the aches and pains in my hips, ankles and achilles/heels. Your assessments, together with a variety of progressive home/gym exercises and stretches have lessened the pain and stiffness. Our sessions keep me committed and give me feedback on how much progress has been made since we started. Your knowledge, experience and gentle care has taught me not to accept less than what is possible when living in an aging body!
