Many patients with Parkinson\'s Disease (PD) will encounter difficulties with balance, posture, and gait for which physical therapy (PT) has been shown to be beneficial. The purpose of this study is to randomize patients between standard \"burst\" PT versus \"spaced\" PT to inform on the optimal frequency of PT for PD patients. Burst PT in this study was defined as 2 PT visits per week for 6 weeks (12 sessions) and spaced PT, as 1 PT visit every other week for 6 months (12 sessions).
