Are You Looking For Help With Movement Disorders
such as Parkinson's Disease or Multiple Sclerosis? 

Joel Digris Owner of Achieva Rehabilitation In-Home Physical Therapy Program

A Message from Joel J. Digris, Leading Movement Disorder Physical Therapist About Dealing With Movement Disorders:

​

If you have Parkinson’s Disease or MS or another Movement Disorder, you may be feeling that your muscles are not listening.  You may be feeling that everything is harder in your life.  You may be like others who believe that there is nothing you can do to stop it from getting worse.  Or...your internal voice is saying that you’ve got time and you just need to see how things go.   

​

But now it seems that things are getting worse and you are worried. 

​

If this is happening to you, you're not alone - we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact helping people with the challenges of Parkinson’s Disease or Multiple Sclerosis is a big part of our In-Home Physical Therapy Program at Achieva Rehabilitation.  You are all probably wondering the same thing:

​

 

“Why Am I Struggling to Walk?”

Or

“Why Are My Problems Happening More Often? 

Nothing I’ve Tried Has Worked.”

 

Many people just like you hope that their Parkinson’s Disease or Multiple Sclerosis symptoms won’t get worse and just wait and see how things go.  Six months later, your walking, strength, balance are all just a little worse.  It's not an easy thing to face and the uncertainty of it all is very hard to deal with daily...we know.

​

​

Does That Sound Like You?

​

Some people have decided to do something about it so they see their family doctor who begins the process of mixing up cocktails of medications. These meds are often quite necessary, but, it is just part of what your body needs.

​

A lot of times, they end up going back to the doctor again and their problems have gotten worse.  This time, they're told by their doctor to see a specialist whose advice is to schedule further testing such as MRI.  Exercise is rarely talked about early on after diagnosis despite the fact that studies show that it is vital for those with Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and other Movement Disorders.

​

​

Has This Happened To You?

​

Where do Movement Disorders come from? It's easy to get confused because you've been told so many different things by different people. There are lots of people out there who are happy to give you advice, but not all of the things you hear are reliable. 

 

Who really knows what they are talking about when it comes to managing Movement Disorders from a functional standpoint?  That is, who can help you move better?  Your doctor will likely focus on the medical management making sure you are healthy.  But, your body needs a movement specialist. 

​

The nervous system is very complex and the presentation of Parkinson’s Disease or MS can be very confusing. Because of that many people end up accepting that it is progressive and the symptoms are just part of the process.  

​

​

Do You Feel That Way Too?

​

If any of these things have happened to you, we would love to help you by inviting you to schedule a Call Consultation with one of our expert physical therapists.

​

​

In The Meantime, You May Be Wondering:

​

 

 

“What Can I Do Today To Give Myself A Chance To Live My Best Life WITH Parkinson's or MS?"

 

​

Well, here's 4 things you can do:

 

1. First, deciding to get help is a great start. So many people put off getting help right away.  Mostly because they are so overwhelmed by all the puzzle pieces of understanding your new diagnosis.  We can help discuss all of those factors. 

​

2. Avoid Inactivity.  Safely perform your daily activities resting if needed.  Resting can snowball into inactivity.  At a bare minimum if you are still able, stand up and sit down as many times as you can several times per day and try to take a walk every hour if your balance is still decent.

​

3. Get real, Specialized Physical Therapy - Specialized Physical Therapy is proven to help people with Parkinson’s Disease and MS. In fact, it’s a very common problem that we treat with our In-Home Physical Therapy Program at Achieva Rehabilitation. 

 

If your symptoms impact your mobility and independence or get in the way of spending quality time with family and friends – expert PT will help you.

​

4. Next, do the RIGHT exercises - exercise is in fact the number one non-negotiable thing you need in your life if you have a movement disorder - specifically created for you by our expert Physical Therapist to help you feel strong and steady and confident- and make sure you get back to doing the things you love to do!

“Achieva was truly top notch! I have participated at other physical therapy facilities using fancy machines. Achieva is different. They use what you have in your home, so that you can function in your everyday life. You will not find anyone with more knowledge, compassion or perseverance. “

--Mary

“Achieva Rehab is great. My husband has Parkinson's. After an operation he had a hard time standing up on his own and walking correctly . His balance was off. Every issue we brought up they addressed. They came three times a week working with him. Little by little he started moving better. He started standing on his own walking better . They helped give him more confidence. At the end of his rehab he was running and jumping. It was simply amazing. They are the best. “

--Helene

“My husband has Parkinson’s and we were blessed to find Achieva Rehabilitation. Joel and Jessica were absolutely amazing. I can’t begin to tell you how much my husband benefited from Achieva. These people are excellent at their jobs and it is done with care and compassion. My husband and I have had prior therapy at facilities with all of the equipment and Achieva was certainly superior to that. Please do not hesitate to call them.  You do not have to be concerned with driving or perhaps trying to find a ride to get your therapy....it is all done for you. I guarantee that you will be happy with the results.

--Daryl
