A progressive neurological disorder supported through movement-focused physiotherapy.
Understanding Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement, often causing tremors, stiffness and slower movement over time. While it can't be reversed, physiotherapy plays an important role in maintaining mobility, balance and confidence for daily activity.
Our approach uses movement-focused exercises specifically shown to help with Parkinson's-related symptoms, alongside practical strategies for common daily challenges like getting out of a chair or turning while walking.

Frequently Asked Questions
While it can't stop disease progression, regular, targeted exercise is associated with better maintained mobility and function over time.
We teach specific cueing strategies — like counting or stepping over an imaginary line — that can help you or a caregiver manage freezing episodes safely.
