Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder that significantly affects the quality of life of those with it. Whilst there is no known cure for Parkinson, various techniques and approaches can be used to manage the symptoms. One of the ways to manage the symptoms is Physiotherapy. Some of ways in which Physiotherapy can help are as follows –

Improving Balance: Parkinson’s can lead to an increased risk of falls due to balance problems. Our physiotherapists can advise on and develop plans to boost the core and lower limb stability which helps with improving balance and reducing the risk of falls.

Enhancing Mobility: Parkinson’s can cause stiffness and rigidity, making it hard to move around. Physiotherapists can develop a personalised exercise programme, including stretching and range of motion exercises to help keep the joints flexible, reduce muscle tension and improve mobility.

Improving Gait And Posture: A shuffling gait is seen in clients with Parkinson’s. They take small steps and find lifting their feet off the ground tricky. It can also cause changes in posture, such as a forward lilt of the head and a rounded back. Gait and posture advice and exercises can help with walking on different surfaces using visual cues like lines on the ground.
