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.

Recently when I went golfing after some time off of the golf course, I had to use a regular 3 wood, which is not as flexible as the "women's" club. I was astounded that I didn't have to struggle with it. What's more, I was hitting better and stronger than before – a full 20 yards further! I attribute this to the many the strength challenges Meghan has thrown at me as we've worked together.
