Lauren Kesteloot, PT, DPT, PWR! Certified Therapist

I have been treating people with Parkinson's since 2013. I was became a PWR! Trained therapist in 2014, then completed certification again in 2021 and re-certified in 2024 with Freezing of Gait recertification. I have also trained in cognitive dual task training as well as Rock Steady Boxing coaching training. Since 2013, I have facilitated a monthly Parkinson's Education & Outreach group meeting.

We have developed a multidisciplinary Parkinson's rehab program including physical, occupational, and speech therapy as well as collaboration with movement disorder specialists and neurologists. My patients with Parkinson's are offered long-term Parkinson's rehabilitation which includes high-intensity, large-amplitude, neuroplasticity based interventions along with cognitive dual task training with a patient-specific approach.
