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.

After following the program Meghan gave me, I was able to walk around the PNE all day without having to stop and sit down like I've had to do in the past. Even better, recently I did the Diamond Head climb in Hawaii with some friends. When we did the same climb a few years ago, I was huffing and puffing the whole way, and this year I felt great at the top!
