Celebrating 1-year anniversary, Post-Covid for this BTC | BRIO superstar

Sid is one of our longtime clients who happens to have Parkinson’s. Over the past several years, Sid has worked with the Baudry Therapy Center team to stay mobile and healthy.

About 14 months ago, Sid was diagnosed with Covid-19. He fought and beat Covid over the next 6 weeks. Today, August 19, 2021, marks one year since Sid was released from inpatient rehab. 

When Sid finally was released to go home, he knew he needed to stay healthy and active. He came back to Baudry Therapy Center | BRIO  and has been working with Mike and Maddie.  With hard work and dedication, he has increased his strength, balance, and coordination.

He now utilizes physical therapy and BRIOfit Plus services throughout the year to manage the ups and downs of Parkinson’s Disease.

“Sid is always working to push his endurance for walking and standing. He breaks his personal record almost every day,” Mike said.

We’re so proud of you, Sid! Keep up the good work.  We can’t wait to see what you accomplish this next year!

Rich Baudry recently put on his dancing shoes and accompanied BTC friends Sandra and Calvin Wright and Diane Holzenthal to a Dance for Parkinson’s class. He knew it would be fun, but he was not prepared for just how much he would learn from this 75-minute class.

“The class was very engaging and featured a professional instructor and a live pianist,” said Rich Baudry. “We learned some choreography, what an 8 count was, and how to truly enjoy the moment. But the most valuable thing I learned was just how much this program helps Parkinson’s patients smile and forget about their problems for a little while.”
