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’ve been working with Meghan for over 3 years, and I’m extremely grateful that she is always changing and adapting my program to where I currently am in life. If there’s pain that needs to be addressed it’s considered with empathy, patience and knowledge, and if there is an interest, I’m curious about, her enthusiasm pushes me forward into learning more. We’ve continued to progress very well in spite of the “new normal” transition to on-line training.

The dedication Meghan has for breathing and bracing properly prior to weightlifting is impressive. She’s always learning, experimenting, and then teaching. The time she has spent on each step has allowed me to incorporate it into other areas, which has helped with my overall fitness. It’s been a journey, sometimes up and sometimes down, but I know my technique and fitness level has vastly improved over these 3 years because of her hard work. On top of all of this, it’s always a fun challenge!!
