What We Do

Tremors can affect writing, eating, dressing and confidence in public. Our assessment looks at tremor type, triggers (posture, action, stress), strength, coordination and sensory feedback.

Your plan may include coordination drills, stability loading, breathing and relaxation, sensory tricks, weighted or adaptive tools, and step-by-step practice of the tasks you care about most.

Who We Help

  • Essential tremor
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Cerebellar tremor / MS

FAQs

Tremors often can’t be “cured”, but therapy can reduce the impact: better control, less fatigue, steadier tasks and more confidence. We also coordinate with your doctor if medication review is needed.

Many people feel practical improvements in 3–6 sessions with daily home practice. Timelines vary by tremor type, severity and goals.

Yes—home care is available. We can trial weighted cuffs, adaptive pens, non-spill cups, phone grips and other aids to see what helps you most.
