This past year has been very eventful for our small company!
With the support of our Board of Directors and team we opened our new Fairfax Hamaker outpatient clinic in June. Our larger custom-designed space has enabled us to add innovative, advanced equipment so our clients can push their limits for even greater gains during their sessions!
Over time, handwriting can change, especially with age, tremors, and changes in vision, and strength. With Parkinson’s Disease (PD), handwriting can be impacted by tremors, slowed movement, and rigidity. Seventy-five percent of people with PD have micrographia, which is small, cramped handwriting. It is a result of the same brain processes that affect the amplitude of other movements in the body.
Those suffering from a neurological condition, such as Multiple Sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease, may experience trouble swallowing. This is called DYSPHAGIA. Dysphagia can have many different causes; however, it’s an issue that needs to be addressed because it can lead to major health problems like dehydration, malnutrition, choking or aspiration pneumonia.
