Rehabilitative Qigong and Tai Chi for beginners Rehabilitative Qigong and Tai Chi for beginners
–
April 2, 2025Rehabilitative Qigong and Tai Chi involves simple, easy to learn movements. We will not become frustrated learning a complex choreographed form as is taught in classical Tai Chi. Rather, we will repeat a few basic movements. Through this repetition, we can learn to move with greater ease, confidence, and awareness. And by moving in a relaxed manner, we will begin to experience a state of healing. Also, the benefits of self massage, coordinating and deepening the breath, and meditation will be explored. Some benefits of this practice include improved balance, strength, coordination, flexibility, thinking, mood and more... These classes are appropriate for anyone with mild to moderate PD. No prior experience necessary.
Facilitator: Gil Wette
I’ve been a practicing physical therapist since 1994. I have worked in my own private practice until recently when I took medical leave. I was diagnosed with PD in 2014 when I was 50 years old. Having experience in Tai Chi, my interest in this practice was revitalized after learning of my condition. Now I’m looking to share in the benefits I have gained from the practice of Rehabilitative Tai Chi and Qigong.

Cognition for Communication in Parkinson's: The Role of Speech Language Pathology
Individuals living with Parkinson disease may experience cognitive changes to attention, memory, and language. Speech language pathologists are equipped to provide assessment and treatment for these changes when they impact communication. This talk will review potential cognitive changes that may impact communication, strategies to support satisfying communication, and pathways for comprehensive cognitive assessment. Following this talk, attendees will be able to identify potential topics to discuss with their own healthcare providers.
About Zoe Kriegel
Zoe Kriegel is an assistant professor in the Division of Communication Disorders at the University of Wyoming. Her research centers on understanding the impacts of Parkinson disease on communication to inform more accurate diagnosis and individualized treatments for communication problems.

Rehabilitative Qigong and Tai Chi for beginners Rehabilitative Qigong and Tai Chi for beginners
–
April 23, 2025Rehabilitative Qigong and Tai Chi involves simple, easy to learn movements. We will not become frustrated learning a complex choreographed form as is taught in classical Tai Chi. Rather, we will repeat a few basic movements. Through this repetition, we can learn to move with greater ease, confidence, and awareness. And by moving in a relaxed manner, we will begin to experience a state of healing. Also, the benefits of self massage, coordinating and deepening the breath, and meditation will be explored. Some benefits of this practice include improved balance, strength, coordination, flexibility, thinking, mood and more... These classes are appropriate for anyone with mild to moderate PD. No prior experience necessary.
Facilitator: Gil Wette
I’ve been a practicing physical therapist since 1994. I have worked in my own private practice until recently when I took medical leave. I was diagnosed with PD in 2014 when I was 50 years old. Having experience in Tai Chi, my interest in this practice was revitalized after learning of my condition. Now I’m looking to share in the benefits I have gained from the practice of Rehabilitative Tai Chi and Qigong.
