We know Parkinson’s Disease is more than just tremors. It impacts the way you move, balance, and carry yourself. Physical therapy can help!
Here’s five ways PT can help those with Parkinson’s Disease:
1. Building strength— By using targeted resistance training, we help you build the strength you need for daily activities.
2. “Thinking big” for better movement— By using specialized programs (like LSVT BIG), we help to retrain your brain and body to use bigger and intentional movements.
3. Restoring your rhythm— We use tools like ellipticals and bicycles to help your body find its rhythm again.
4. Balance and posture— Using stability challenges, such as practicing on uneven surfaces or with your eyes closed, help keep you steady on your feet and prevent falls.
5. Managing stiffness— Regular and focused stretching of the hamstrings, hips, and calves can help reduce pain and increase flexibility.
