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.

I have learned so much from Meghan. I am a senior with an auto-immune form of arthritis that has compromised me physically for several years. However, thanks to Meghan’s patient and targeted instruction I am regaining control of muscles I had forgotten existed. I am stronger and better coordinated and am learning to integrate into my daily routines the movements that I practice with Meghan in the gym. What a discovery! If I use the muscles of my side and shoulder as well as my arm and wrist, window washing is so much easier!
