BIG therapy is making a big difference for people with Parkinson’s disease

2014-08-07 , ChristianaCare News
Patients undergoing the therapy show rapid improvement — sometimes after only one or two sessions. One patient, a young man in his 30s, came to Concord from China just for the treatment, Scott said. “He came in with rounded shoulders, and he complained of discomfort in his upper back and neck,’’ she said. “By the third session, he felt much better and looked better. He stood taller, with better posture, felt less pain. His stride was much longer. We felt it was such a big accomplishment. ‘’
