Movement Disorders Program at OhioHealth
Focusing on Your Quality of Life — Not Just Your Disease
We are dedicated to helping patients with movement disorders manage their symptoms, regain function or control over their movements and maintain quality of life. We do this by spending time listening to how a movement disorder is affecting you, working step by step through each symptom, understanding your struggles and then developing a treatment plan that is individualized to you and your specific needs.
Beyond the Clinic
OhioHealth offers exercise, wellness and education programs designed specifically for patients with movement disorders. These programs can enhance the effectiveness of your treatment and improve your overall quality of life.
