Parkinson's Rehabilitation
Exercise and therapy to support movement, balance and daily activities in Parkinson's disease.
Overview
Parkinson's disease can cause slowness, stiffness, tremor and balance problems. Alongside medicines, regular exercise and therapy play an important role in staying active and independent.
Parkinson's rehabilitation focuses on walking, balance, flexibility, posture and practical strategies for everyday tasks.
When rehabilitation may help
- Slowness or stiffness affecting daily activities
- Shuffling steps, freezing or difficulty turning
- Balance problems or falls
- A stooped posture
- Wanting a safe and regular exercise routine
Having one or more of these does not by itself mean you have a particular condition. A doctor's assessment is needed to find the cause.
What sessions involve
- An assessment of movement, walking, balance and posture.
- Exercises for strength, flexibility and balance.
- Strategies for walking, turning and getting up from a chair.
- Advice on staying active at home.
Who may benefit
- People with Parkinson's disease at any stage
- People with other movement disorders affecting walking or balance
- Caregivers who want to support exercise safely
