Patricia Wessels, PT

Patty Wessels, PT graduated from Oakland University with her Master's of Physical Therapy in 2004 then went on to complete a postgraduate specialty certification in Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapy in 2008. While she started her career working in outpatient orthopedics treating spine pain, joint dysfunction and post surgical rehabilitation, her interests shifted and now most of her patients are people with Parkinson's Disease. She works not only to address their PD motor symptoms, but also treats their musculoskeletal conditions so that they can better tolerate the vigorous exercise needed to slow the progression of the disease. In 2017 she attended Rock Steady Boxing’s Coaches Training Camp, and got certified in both PWR!Moves and LSVT BIG. Patty currently teaches seven boxing classes per week and utilizes PWR!Moves on a daily basis in the boxing gym and in the clinical setting. She enjoyed working with the team at the PWR!Gym while volunteering at the PWR!Retreat in Tuscon in 2026. Additional certifications include LSVT BIG for Life, Delay the Disease, Pound, TRX, and STOTT Pilates.
