Neurological Physiotherapy for Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurological condition that can affect movement, balance, coordination, and independence. Neurological physiotherapy plays a vital role in managing symptoms, improving function, and enhancing quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s.

How Physiotherapy Supports People with Parkinson’s

Restoring Movement and Strength: Targeted exercises help rebuild muscle strength, improve flexibility, and restore mobility in areas affected by Parkinson’s.
Improving Balance and Coordination: Training helps reduce the risk of falls and supports safe movement, which is especially important for those with Parkinson’s-related balance issues.
Managing Rigidity and Bradykinesia: Physiotherapy techniques, including stretching, manual therapy, and movement strategies, can help relieve muscle stiffness and improve movement speed.
Preventing Complications: Regular therapy lowers the risk of secondary issues such as joint stiffness, pressure sores, and reduced cardiovascular health.
Enhancing Independence: Physiotherapy empowers patients to maximize their abilities, supporting greater independence in daily life.
