Yes I was 73 now 75 it showed a large improvement the program was called BIG.
When I arrived my pyhsical check up rated 54 when I was done it was 94.

First they know exactly what your PD needs are.
Second and most important the total plan was designed to my personal needs. The exercises I found on the internet were totally wrong for me, the exercises I took were much being tailor made.

Good Luck

My husband recovered from falls/strokes in in-patient rehab back in 2018. That facility was fantastic. They had him two types of therapy (PT, OT, Speech Therapy, etc.) every day. It helped so much. Unfortunately, we moved later that year, so when he needed to go to in-patient therapy after a fall where he broke his pelvis, he was sent to a different place. It was awful. He didn’t even have one therapy session most days. So I would suggest you do what we didn’t and research the places available.
