After working with neurologic disorders in physical therapy for over 10 years, I realize the barriers that exist in our current healthcare model. Especially for people with Parkinson’s. I found that the “stop and go” pattern of therapy for people with Parkinson’s did not deal with the progression of symptoms. That is why I started The Parkinson’s Fitness Project.
The Daily Dose provides members online access to neurofitness training videos led by experts in Parkinson’s Disease. New videos are available weekly to give you the exercise you need, wherever you are.
Physical Therapy is available for those looking to get instruction for specific impairments related to Parkinson’s that may include: balance and falls, gait or walking impairments, freezing or shuffling, stiffness and more.
"Parkinson's is a challenge and can be overwhelming. To walk into one of Nate's classes is to instantly become a partner in a group where there is acceptance, humor and focus."

"The Daily Dose Videos – When I'm having a bad day, I'll go through a video and I move better! It's like my own little pick me up!"
Caitlin H.
"I'm moving easier and the videos have taught me how to improve my movement throughout the day so I'm not falling into the same bad habits over and over."

"From the minute I met Nate, I began learning new things about Parkinson’s and how to deal with it. He explained how each exercise benefited the management of Parkinson’s."

"AMP Class – Nate Coomer has created a gym class solely dedicated to Parkinson people in order to fill my prescription for mind/body exercise. I admire his discoveries and willingness to experiment and feel part of a new frontier."

"Nate consistently creates a positive, "can do!" learning environment. He's energetic, enthusiastic, uses humor, and challenges me without setting unrealistic expectations."
