Physiotherapy for Parkinson’s, Parkinsonian Dementia & Lewy-Body Conditions 💚
⭐How Physiotherapy Helps You Stay Mobile, Independent & Safe ⭐
Living with Parkinson’s disease, Parkinsonian dementia, or Lewy-Body Dementia (LBD) can bring daily challenges — from changes in walking and balance to reduced energy, stiffness, and confidence. These conditions can affect how you move, think, and engage with the world around you. Physiotherapy is one of the most effective ways to stay independent and maintain quality of life. 💚
❗At our clinic, we support people living with degenerative neurological conditions through tailored, evidence-based physiotherapy programs.
Parkinsonian conditions affect movement, coordination, and sometimes cognition.
These changes can make everyday tasks harder and increase the risk of falls. Physiotherapy helps counter these challenges by strengthening the body, improving movement, and supporting confidence. 💚
⭐Why Physiotherapy Is Essential ⭐
Physiotherapy directly targets the areas that matter most for staying independent:
❗ Improved Mobility
❗ Strength for Daily Living
❗ Flexibility & Comfort
❗ Balance & Fall Prevention
❗ More Energy & Better Wellbeing
❗ Support for Carers and Family
Many people who engage in ongoing physiotherapy maintain independence for longer and feel more in control of their condition.
Our tailored programs are designed to help you move better and feel stronger. Here's what we offer:
🚶♂️ Gait Training: Improve walking with visual & rhythmic cues.
⚖️ Balance Training: Build stability for real-life challenges.
💪 Strength Training: Target key muscles for standing & walking.
🤸♂️ Flexibility Work: Reduce rigidity & improve posture.
🪇 Rhythm Therapies: Enhance movement with music & Tai Chi.
👟 Functional Training: Practice everyday tasks like standing & turning.
🫁 Endurance Training: Boost stamina with aerobic exercises.
📖 Education: Stay active, prevent falls, and modify your home safely.
⭐Physiotherapy for Lewy-Body Dementia ⭐
Because LBD involves both movement changes and cognitive fluctuations, physiotherapy sessions may include:
- Short, simple instructions
- Calm, predictable routines
- Slower pacing
- Carer involvement when useful
- Flexibility on days where fatigue or confusion is higher
- This ensures therapy remains safe, supportive, and effective.
