coaching, consulting, research, and community for people with Parkinson’s disease.
We improve slowness of movement by strengthening emotional, motor, and sensory cues that balance the brain's energetic cost during goal directed movement.
We teach strategies and provide tools to prevent or reduce duration and frequency of FoG episodes.
Our team centered approach is a combination of cognitive training integrated with motor learning principles that implement visual, auditory, and kinesthetic strategies to increase working memory potential and cognitive flexibility.
Our coaching approach is designed to teach individuals how to lead themselves by developing self-expertise and movement autonomy. We actively listen to our clients' needs and work together to set relevant, achievable goals that align with their unique experiences and challenges.
With our research and experience we hope to bridge the multi-disciplinary knowledge gap within the field of neuro rehabilitation by facilitating an integrative view of motor learning & dual task training, fostering discussion across disciplines, and stimulating collaboration.
Motorvation is a mindset, a set of values, and a shared mission. We hope our vision of a peer based community inspires others to join us in Building a life of Movement, Rediscovering their Inner Athlete, & Aging Successfully.
We are developing a licensing model that will allow gyms, corporate wellness programs, and exercise professionals, both within and outside the Parkinson's community to implement our adaptable framework that integrates aerobic, resistance, and cognitive training.
