Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week, I’m joined by Dr. Han Nguyen, a neurologic physical therapist and founder of Neubility Rehabilitation & Wellness. In this episode, we explore Parkinson’s disease—what it is, how it’s diagnosed, and why early intervention matters.

Dr. Nguyen explains the hallmark symptoms, shares insight into non-motor effects, and breaks down why exercise is the most powerful tool in slowing disease progression. We also discuss real-world movement strategies, community resources, and how even those in assisted living can benefit from tailored exercise plans. Tune in to learn how movement, support, and early care can make all the difference in living well with Parkinson’s.

Han Nguyen ("Hon Win") is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Board-Certified Specialist in Neurologic Physical Therapy. Han started her career in intensive rehab at Largo West Hospital seeing patients after acute neurological injuries. During this time, Han recognized that there was a big gap in the community between intensive rehab in the hospital and outpatient rehab once patients get discharged. Han left her full time job in 2023 and started Neubility Rehabilitation and Wellness. Neubility Rehab is a specialized physical therapy and occupational therapy practice that focus on motivated individuals with neurological injuries and disorders, such as stroke, Parkinson's, brain and spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, balance and vertigo/dizziness .
