SmartFit dual-task training in Shreveport.
Real life asks your body and your brain to work at the same time. This training does too, so walking, turning, and staying balanced start to feel steady again.
What It Is
Move and think. At the same time.
Most of what you do all day is two tasks at once. You walk while you talk, turn while you scan the room, reach while you remember why you came into the kitchen. When Parkinson’s disease or a balance problem makes that harder, exercise that trains one thing at a time only covers half the job.
SmartFit is a neurorehabilitation system that pairs movement drills with interactive cognitive games: memory, quick decisions, and fast shifts of attention. You react, recall, and move, while your therapist adjusts the challenge in real time to match what you can do today.
Our clinicians working with this program are trained in treating Parkinson’s disease, and every plan is built around your specific motor challenges. It’s specialized, it’s adjustable, and it’s genuinely fun, which matters when you’re showing up two or three times a week.
Adjusted to you, every session

Questions, Answered
SmartFit, explained.
No. Parkinson’s disease is one of the main reasons people come to us for SmartFit, but dual-task training can help anyone whose balance, coordination, or reaction time has slipped. Your physical therapist will tell you whether it fits your goals after your evaluation.
A typical program is 2–3 sessions a week for about 8 weeks, and each session lasts about an hour. Your therapist adjusts the plan based on how you respond, so yours may be shorter or longer.
Your safety comes first. Your therapist sets every task to your current ability and adjusts it in real time, so the challenge grows as you do. Research suggests SmartFit dual-task training is safe for people with Parkinson’s disease when a therapist guides it.
