Paulette's Story

Picture
​Paulette came to know HouseFit after attending one of our community talks. There she learned about managing Parkinson’s symptoms and the services that we offer. Paulette decided that her husband, who has Parkinson’s disease, would greatly benefit from physical therapy. Now he works with Tonya and has regular one-on-one therapy sessions. “She understands his cognitive abilities and works with him well.” Paulette says, “Even though he’s non-verbal, Tonya does a great job reading his expressions and understanding him.”

Paulette notes that her husband benefits greatly from Physical Therapy. “It’s what keeps him moving and active. It also makes my job as a caregiver easier.” Tonya has given the couple several ideas on how to implement some exercises at home. This way, even after their sessions, Paulette and her husband can continue with strengthening and cognitive exercises. One exercise that they incorporated at home is boxing. Paulette purchased boxing equipment after noticing her husband both enjoys and benefits from the exercise.

Before coming to HouseFit, the couple sought out physical therapy at two other facilities. Paulette said that none of them compare to HouseFit. We are happy to say that their needs were met by our wonderful physical therapists.

Paulette has taken action towards her own health as well. As she watched her husband progress after his own physical therapy sessions, she decided to enroll in physical therapy for herself. With our Physical Therapist Erica, they both worked to address Paulette's knee pain. After her sessions, she noticed it was easier going up and down stairs as well as kneeling.
​
Paulette would highly recommend HouseFit to anyone. She enjoys our facility and the variety of equipment we can implement to help a vast range of issues. In fact she has recommended our services. “I told my husband’s neurologists about HouseFit and they expressed that they would refer patients.”
