PARKINSON'S FREEZING OF GAIT PLAYBOOK
Managing Freezing of Gait in Parkinson’s: Assessment-Driven Treatment
If you’re passionate about working with individuals with Parkinson’s, you’ve seen both the rewards and the challenges.
There are moments where progress happens quickly—gait improves, posture changes, movement becomes more fluid.
And then there are moments where you feel stuck… unsure what to do next.
Freezing of gait (FOG) is often one of those challenges.
It’s unpredictable, frustrating, and can significantly increase fall risk—making it one of the most difficult symptoms to manage.
You may find yourself asking:
What’s actually causing the freezing?
How do I assess it properly?
What strategies will truly help my patient move more safely and confidently?
If you’ve ever felt this way when working with freezing and fall-related challenges in Parkinson’s - you’re going to LOVE what we have for you!
Introducing...
THE PARKINSON'S FREEZING OF GAIT PLAYBOOK
A focused collection of modules and resources designed to help you confidently assess, treat, and manage freezing of gait—while translating evidence into real clinical practice.
WHAT'S INSIDE THE BUNDLE?
2. Fall Risk Reduction in Parkinson's Disease
This is a done-for-you presentation that you can use with people with Parkinson's disease immediately!
Claire McLean, your instructor, also provides a personalized video for how to BEST use this presentation so that you feel confident and empower people to live their best and safest lives with PD!
4. NEW! Anti-Freeze Exercise Program
This module introduces a structured yet flexible approach to assessing and managing freezing of gait (FOG), emphasizing the importance of combining standardized assessments with real-world clinical observation.
It highlights how FOG is influenced not just by physical factors, but also cognitive and emotional components like attention and anxiety, requiring a more holistic treatment approach.
5. NEW! Anxiety and Freezing
This module explores the relationship between anxiety and freezing of gait, particularly in individuals with neurological conditions like Parkinson’s. It reviews current research, highlighting the lack of clear, standardized interventions while acknowledging how commonly anxiety impacts movement.
The session focuses on increasing clinician awareness and opening discussion around practical strategies to better recognize and address anxiety in treatment.
6. NEW! Case Study: Post Hip Fracture with Freezing of Gait
This module presents a detailed case study of a woman with Parkinson’s who developed freezing of gait after a hip fracture, highlighting how fear, anxiety, and loss of confidence significantly impacted her recovery.
It walks through the clinician’s evolving treatment approach, including gait training, strength work, and progressive reactive balance interventions, emphasizing trial-and-error and adapting to patient response.
7. BONUS: Freezing of Gait Case Study
This bonus module provides a case-based discussion of severe freezing of gait, emphasizing how anxiety, environment, and movement strategies (like speed and amplitude) directly influence symptoms and performance.
It demonstrates how targeted interventions—especially walking practice, treadmill training, and power-based mobility work—can significantly reduce freezing and improve function over time when applied consistently.

TRULY A NON-TRADITIONAL EDUCATION MODEL THAT FITS YOU! IT'S A NO-BRAINER!
You care about becoming a better clinician, that’s why you keep investing in your learning.
But when it comes to freezing of gait and fall-related challenges in Parkinson’s, it can still feel unclear what to actually do in the clinic.
There’s plenty of general Parkinson’s content out there… But what about the situations that truly test you?
-
When your patient suddenly freezes mid-step
-
When fear and anxiety start affecting movement
-
When what worked before… stops working
