What to Expect When You Visit Our Physiotherapist

When you visit us for Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation, we assess walking, balance, posture, strength, flexibility, freezing episodes, falls risk, and confidence with movement. Treatment may include strength training, balance exercises, gait retraining, cueing strategies, posture work, flexibility exercises, dual-task training, and home exercise planning. Our goal is to maintain independence, improve mobility, reduce falls risk, and help you move with more confidence.

Factors Influencing Recovery Speed

↑

Regular Exercise

• Strength, balance and walking practice help maintain function. • Ongoing exercise is important because Parkinson’s is progressive.

Cueing + Medication Timing

• Cueing strategies can improve gait and freezing episodes. • Aligning practice with medication timing may improve movement quality.

↓

Advanced Disease or Freezing

• More advanced symptoms can increase falls risk. • Freezing of gait may require more targeted strategies.

Low Activity or Poor Sleep

• Inconsistent exercise can accelerate functional decline. • Cognitive changes and medication fluctuations may also affect progress.

What does the Evidence say?
Clinical guidelines support physiotherapy for Parkinson’s disease, particularly exercise, balance training, gait training, and task-specific movement strategies to improve mobility and reduce disability.
