1. Educational Purpose
The information, courses, workshops, certifications, books, videos, publications, digital resources, and other educational materials provided by Parkinson’s Teacher Training Academy (“PTTA,” “Academy,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) are offered solely for educational and informational purposes.
PTTA seeks to educate movement professionals, fitness professionals, rehabilitation specialists, caregivers, and other learners regarding exercise programming and movement strategies for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease and related movement disorders.
Participation in PTTA programs does not establish a healthcare provider–patient relationship or any other professional relationship between PTTA and participants or between PTTA and any individual receiving services from participants.

PTTA does not practice medicine.
Nothing contained in PTTA educational materials should be interpreted as:
- medical advice;
- medical diagnosis;
- treatment recommendations;
- prescriptions;
- rehabilitation services;
- individualized healthcare planning; or
- a substitute for evaluation or care by a qualified healthcare professional.
Individuals with Parkinson’s disease or other medical conditions should consult their physician or other qualified healthcare provider before beginning or modifying an exercise program.
3. Professional Scope of Practice

Completion of PTTA education does not expand, replace, or modify any participant’s legal authority to provide healthcare or professional services.

Even appropriately designed exercise programs may result in:

- other unforeseen complications.
Participants assume responsibility for evaluating whether any exercise, technique, progression, or recommendation is appropriate for themselves or the individuals with whom they work.
6. Individual Results
Every individual responds differently to exercise and education.
PTTA makes no representation or warranty that participants, clients, caregivers, or patients will achieve specific outcomes, including improvements in symptoms, function, quality of life, mobility, balance, strength, or disease progression.
