Why Physiotherapy Is Essential for Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's is progressive, but functional decline is not inevitable. Decades of research confirm that intensive, specialized exercise significantly slows progression, improves motor symptoms, and enhances quality of life — often more effectively than medication alone.
LSVT BIG: High-Amplitude Movement Therapy
LSVT BIG trains patients to make oversized, exaggerated movements to recalibrate the brain's internal motion scale. Parkinson's causes patients to underestimate how small their movements have become — LSVT BIG corrects this.
PWR! Moves Protocol
PWR! (Parkinson Wellness Recovery) targets four fundamental motor deficits: anti-gravity posture, weight shifting, axial mobility, and transitional movements. Each session builds these foundational skills.
Gait Training and Fall Prevention
Auditory cueing (metronome), visual cueing (floor stripes), and dual-task training all improve gait speed, step length, and fall prevention in Parkinson's patients.
