Phil Kroeker is a 64-year-old retired veteran with Parkinson’s disease. Kroeker was diagnosed in July 2009. On top of seeing a neurologist, Kroeker also chose a physical therapist to assist him after watching a Good Morning America segment on forced exercise. His Theracycle worked so well that he decided to educate the community on the benefits of forced exercise for people with Parkinson’s disease.
