IRON MOUNTAIN – Lifetime Fitness is now offering a new tool to improve speech/communication, coordination and learning in adults and children suffering from a number of conditions including ADHD and autism, as well as the physical effects of stroke and Parkinson’s.

Interactive Metronome (IM) is a computer-based technology that encourages users to match the computer’s rhythm, thereby improving their internal sense of timing. An increasing amount of scientific evidence demonstrates that the brain’s internal clock is integral in the development and maintenance of many cognitive, behavioral, social and motor skills.

“We’ve always known that timing in the brain affected a wide variety of conditions, but until Interactive Metronome we did not have a single therapy that could improve timing in both children and adults” says Debbie Flannery, of LifeFit Lifetime Fitness.

A free assessment with Interactive Metronome training is currently available in Iron Mountain by calling 774-5833.
