"Before I started the PEAK program, I was tripping and falling on a regular basis due to Parkinson's disease. When I sustained a traumatic brain injury due to one of those falls, I knew I needed help in strengthening my body. 

Participating in the PEAK program for the last year and a half, has literally changed my life. My core and overall strength have improved significantly. This has made it easier to catch myself if I trip or lose my balance, and I haven't had a fall in over a year. l am also more flexible and have less pain due the stretching and neuro Pilates included in the bi-weekly sessions. I'm am so thankful for the dedication and caring people that make up the PEAK team."

“Destination Rehab has, in all honesty, changed my life for the better in countless ways. 

Not only has their unique approach to physical therapy empowered me  to comfortably engage in physical activities in the outdoors, their staff have created a community for neuro patients that has become like family. I am forever grateful to Carol-Ann and her staff for pushing my physical limitations while improving my neuro plasticity and helping me live a healthier life regardless of my diagnosis.“

“Destination Rehab has had such a positive impact on my life that helps counter the negative impact of my disease.

PEAK gives me more than just physical fitness – it supports me emotionally and mentally in fighting the dark side of MS.  Through PEAK I am working out with others who are physically challenged – we don’t judge, we encourage.  We’ve become a family of friends who loves and laughs together, and I leave each session facing the rest of the day happy about myself. In PEAK, I know the staff is right there to catch me if I fall, and to lead me to success – not failure- in all our exercises.  Most importantly, I am among peers – all of us with our own challenges, but all of us together to encourage each other”
