Exercise 4 Brain Change in People with Parkinson's - The Why and How presented by Melanie Lomaglio

Melanie Lomaglio, DPT, Physical Therapist and owner of St. Augustine Rehab Specialists and Parkinson’s Wellness and Recovery facility.

Melanie exclusively treats Parkinson disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonisms in her specialized clinic. She coordinates and hosts the St. Augustine PD Support Group and has traveled around North America teaching other clinicians how to best provide physical therapy to persons with PD. Melanie will discuss how the motor, cognitive and emotional symptoms of Parkinson disease can be combated with physical therapy and exercise. She will also review the most recent research-based evidence advocating exercise as the first line of defense against PD.
