Since then, the caring staff has been taking care of patients of joint pain, low back pain, neck pain, post surgical therapy, car accidents, sports injuries, and neurological conditions. Their newest service for Parkinson's (LSVT BIG & LOUD) has been very prevalent in the area and until four or five years ago there was very little evidence available for improving patients with PD function. Jolene and her husband, Jarod, have three children: James, Kate & Kyla. James enjoys the summers playing baseball, Kate enjoys gymnastics and volleyball and Kyla enjoys hanging out with her big sister and learning a few gymnastics techniques.
