Description

1) Gait Training: Physiotherapists help individuals with PD improve their walking patterns (gait), reduce shuffling steps, and increase stride length.

2) Balance Training: Exercises focus on improving postural stability and reducing the risk of falls, which is common due to impaired balance.

3) Improving Strength and Flexibility

Parkinson’s can cause stiffness and muscle weakness. Physiotherapy involves strength training and flexibility exercises to keep muscles strong and joints supple.

4) Improving Coordination and Dexterity

Fine motor skills (such as writing, buttoning, etc.) can be affected. Physiotherapy includes exercises that enhance coordination and hand movements.

5) Managing Freezing Episodes

“Freezing” is when someone with PD temporarily feels stuck in place. Physiotherapists teach strategies and cues (e.g., rhythmic stepping, using visual targets) to overcome these episodes.

6) Posture Correction

Parkinson’s often leads to stooped posture. Physiotherapists work on posture correction through specific exercises that help improve spinal alignment.

7) Breathing and Aerobic Exercise

Cardiovascular exercises to improve overall stamina and breathing, which may decline with PD.

8) Addressing Tremors

Although physiotherapy doesn’t stop tremors, it can reduce their impact by teaching patients strategies to manage tremor-related difficulties.

9) Daily Functionality

Physiotherapy focuses on improving functional tasks (such as getting out of bed, sitting down, or standing up) that are essential for daily independence.
