She has helped to create a senior-friendly workout studio and personal training service and has also designed and developed the Adapted Exercise clinic which allows participants with Parkinson’s, Stroke, multiple sclerosis and orthopedic issues to exercise in a safe, rehabilitative environment. She is a firm believer that repetition, intensity, focus and specificity are key principles to making positive changes to the brain & body.
ABOUT THIS CONFERENCE
Come learn how a small community gym for older adults 50+ has gained a reputation in & outside Montreal for training a vulnerable and symptomatic (Stroke, Parkinson’s, MS, Orthopedic, Cardiac) population through group fitness classes, a creative gym program, personal training and an in-home equipment loan program.
Guided by the principles of neuroplasticity, see how these kinesiologists encourage both the physical and mental components required for functionality and integrative movement patterns.
