Pines of Sarasota Education & Training Institute Releases “Practical Skills for Better Living with Parkinson’s Disease” Program

Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) April 14, 2017 


Pines of Sarasota Education & Training Institute expands its education offerings with the release of its new DVD and Online Video, titled: “Practical Tips for Better Living with Parkinson’s Disease.” 
Produced in partnership with neurologist Dean Sutherland, M.D., Ph.D., and occupational therapist Teepa Snow, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA, this new program is an educational toolkit for those affected by Parkinson’s disease: 
In the first workshop, Dr. Dean Sutherland provides the medical foundation necessary to understand what happens in the brain, who is at risk, how it is diagnosed, and which medications or treatments might be helpful. 
In the second workshop, internationally renowned trainer Teepa Snow offers practical techniques to empower caregivers. Using physical and visual cues, caregivers learn how to help a person with PD to overcome freezing, improve walking through rhythm, or how to assist in transferring from standing to sitting without fear or stress.
JoAnn Westbrook, Director of Education, explains: “Living with Parkinson’s disease can be challenging, for both the affected person and caregiver alike. We wanted to create a comprehensive program that gives viewers both the medical as well as practical knowledge needed to improve day-to-day life. Knowing how to utilize rhythm to temporarily improve a person’s walking skills, or how to use touch to trigger a muscular response to help a person sit are skills that will make a vast difference in the quality life of those affected by PD.” 
The workshop is available on DVD and Online Video Streaming. For more information visit https://www.pineseducation.org/product/practical-tips-for-better-living-with-parkinsons-disease/ or call 1-800-672-1310.
