The Perfect Step is excited to offer a new specialized program called Pedaling for Parkinson's. This program is dedicated to individuals living with Parkinson's disease and is designed to complement our typical chronic care therapy services. Through high-intensity cycling sessions, this program aims to reduce Parkinson s symptoms and improve overall well-being. The program is based on the Pedaling for Parkinson's protocol developed by the Davis Phinney Foundation, which is supported by industry research.
