Maria Lewis (Physiotherapist and Co-Founder of Reach Your Peak and Adaptive Fitness Training) will dive deep into one of the most challenging symptoms in Parkinson’s, covering:

• The Science Behind FOG: Explore the neurophysiology of gait and understand why freezing happens through four key models: threshold, interference, cognitive, and decoupling.
• Real-World Triggers: Identify the common factors that contribute to freezing episodes so you can help clients anticipate and manage them.
• Actionable Strategies: Learn evidence-based exercise techniques and cueing methods that reduce FOG, improve mobility, and decrease fall risk—tools you can use immediately in your practice.
