Fact or Fiction Friday: Let’s Set the Record Straight on Parkinson’s”

Myth: Only medication can help manage Parkinson’s symptoms.

Fact: Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy are all vital parts of Parkinson’s care, they improve mobility, balance, and independence alongside medication.

Another common myth? That exercise is dangerous for people with Parkinson’s, in fact, safe, guided movement is one of the best treatments available!

Simple Moves to Keep You Moving

Try these 3 physiotherapist-approved tips for managing Parkinson’s symptoms at home:

• Big Movements Matter –– Imagine you’re stepping over a line on the floor or a crack in the concrete to counteract shuffling

• Use External Cues – Walk to the beat of music or count out loud to improve rhythm and stride.

• Don’t Forget Posture – Daily stretching and uncurling your spine against a wall can help keep your spine upright and flexible.

Consistency is key — small, daily efforts add up to major gains. Always consult your physio before starting new exercises! Book online at www.fortifyphysiotherapy.com.au/book-online

Fact or Fiction

“If you’re in pain, you should rest until it goes away.”

Fiction!

Gentle, guided movement is often the key to recovery — not total rest.
Physiotherapists can help you find the right exercises to keep you moving safely and speed up healing.

Movement = Medicine. Always check with a qualified physio before you stop or start any exercise program to make sure it’s right for your body and your recovery goals.

Tip of the Week: The best sitting posture is your next one!

Even the perfect posture can cause stiffness if you hold it too long. Try this every 30 minutes:

• Stand up and stretch
• Roll your shoulders
• Take 10 slow breaths

Little movements = big benefits for your musculoskeletal health.

Extra tip: Set a phone reminder to move more, ache less!

• A detailed conversation about your pain, posture, and daily habits
• Movement tests to see how your joints and muscles are functioning
• A tailored plan, not just exercises, but education and hands-on treatment

Our goal? To find the root cause, not just treat the symptoms.

“Growing pains mean something is wrong with your child’s bones.”

Fiction!
Growing pains are usually harmless muscle aches that come with rapid growth — but persistent or one-sided pain might signal a growth condition that physiotherapy can help manage.

Fact:
Early support helps kids stay active, happy, and strong through every growth spurt!
