The Role of Physical Therapy in Managing Parkinson’s Disease

Managing Parkinson’s with Physical Therapy

Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive condition that affects movement, balance, and coordination. While there is no cure, there are effective treatments that can help slow its progression and improve quality of life. One of the most important tools in managing Parkinson’s symptoms is physical therapy.

Specialized Parkinson’s Therapy at FYZICAL

At FYZICAL, we specialize in movement-based therapies designed to help people with Parkinson’s maintain strength, flexibility, and mobility. Physical therapy can address many of the challenges associated with PD, such as stiffness, poor balance, and difficulty walking. Our therapists use targeted exercises to help retrain the body and brain, improving posture, coordination, and movement patterns.

Building Confidence & Reducing Falls with Physical Therapy

A structured physical therapy program can also help reduce the risk of falls—a major concern for those with Parkinson’s. By working on balance and stability exercises, individuals can regain confidence in their ability to move safely. Additionally, physical therapists can provide guidance on assistive devices, posture corrections, and home exercises to support long-term progress.
