Sept. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Foot Solutions of Estero-Ft. Myers, a Fort Myers orthopedic shoe store, presented at “The Art of Movement” lunch and learn event at the Hope Parkinson Center last week.  Approximately 30 people were in attendance at the event, which was opened to those living with Parkinson’s Disease and their care partners.  The presentations highlighted the importance of movement and exercise for Parkinson’s patients.  It demonstrated how the quality of life can be vastly improved and symptoms can be significantly decreased through improvement in posture, gait, and regular exercise.

“One of the most powerful points in the presentation was hearing one of the patients speak about his depression and lack of mobility.  It was so inspiring to listening to him talk about how he so drastically improved once he began focusing on exercise, posture, balance, and proper gait,” said Chris Cole, Licensed Pedorthist and Owner of Foot Solutions-Estero. “One of the most rewarding aspects of our business is being able to help others improve their quality of life!”

Cole discussed how proper shoe fit and support can significantly help in the improvement of balance and posture, as well as the overall activity level.   In addition, he educated the patients on common conditions, such as “hammer toes” and “drop foot”, and discussed prevention of these through proper foot health.
