What People Are Saying:

“Haseel Bhatt (a Movement Disorders Physiotherapist in Toronto) has put together this incredible resource on Freezing of Gait. If anyone out there struggles with movement, I can't recommend this course highly enough. It covers so much important ground that might just be able to give a person with a movement disorder the confidence they need to take that next step! ”

Ben Stecher | Associate Director at The Sliverstein Foundation for Parkinson's with GBA

“I had the opportunity to go above and beyond for a patient experiencing significant freezing episodes by applying knowledge from a specialized Parkinson’s course developed by Haseel Bhatt. Through this course, I learned about the clock-turning strategy, which I then incorporated into my patient’s treatment. The results were remarkable. Not only did the clock method lead to noticeable improvement in his turning and a reduction in freezing episodes especially with turning, but it also significantly boosted his confidence during mobility tasks. I’m incredibly grateful for the insights gained from this course, and I want to extend a sincere thank you to Haseel for creating such a valuable resource. ”

Dr. Sophia Pelaez | Miami, USA

“This course gave me a comprehensive toolkit to better support people with freezing of gait. What stood out was the range of practical strategies—it's not just about cueing techniques, but also how to adjust the home environment and personalize approaches based on each person's needs. I've already started using several of the strategies in my sessions, and it's made a noticeable difference.”

Brendan O'Brien| Saskatoon, Canada

FAQ

  • I am not very "tech-savvy." Will I be able to join?

    Absolutely. We have designed this program specifically to be frustration-free. You will receive one specific link that works for every live session. You don't need to hunt for passwords. We are hosting a "Tech & Tea" drop-in session on January 29th just to make sure your audio and video work before the teaching begins. If you can click a link in an email, you can do this course.

  • Do I get to keep the materials after the 8 weeks?

    Yes. You get to keep the workbook and will have 1 full year of access to the online video portal. Parkinson's is a condition that changes over time; we want you to be able to come back and re-watch the "Turning" or "Doorway" chapters whenever you need a refresher in the future.

  • I see the price is $450. Do I have to pay that?

    For this specific Pilot Cohort starting February 2026, Parkinson Canada is generously covering the full tuition for selected participants. If you have been selected, you will be given a specific "Scholarship Code" to enter at checkout, which reduces the price to $0.00.

  • Is this an exercise class? Do I have to move on camera?

    No. This is a strategy and self-management program. On your own time (Mondays): You will watch video demonstrations of movements and practice them safely in your own home environment. On the Live Zoom (Thursdays): We remain seated. We focus on reviewing the topic for the week - discussing challenges, insights and wins and reviewing your workbook logs.

  • What happens if I miss a live Thursday session?

    We understand that life (and medical appointments) happens. We encourage live attendance to get the most out of the sessions.

  • Do I need a Care Partner to participate? A Care Partner (spouse, child, or friend) is highly encouraged to join as a full participant.

    Do I need a Care Partner to participate? A Care Partner (spouse, child, or friend) is highly encouraged to join as a full participant. We refer to Care Partners as "Movement Partners." You are not just there to watch; you are there to learn the cues, help set up the environment (like placing tape lines), and act as a co-pilot during the 8-week journey.

Next Cohort Starts: February, 2026
