Parkinsonism refers to a group of neurological disorders characterized by tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with movement. Parkinson's disease is the most common form, but there are other types as well. Symptoms typically include tremors, muscle rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability.
Our physiotherapy services aim to manage and alleviate the symptoms of Parkinsonism through tailored exercise programs and therapeutic interventions. We focus on improving motor skills, balance, and overall quality of life for individuals affected by this condition.
Physiotherapy is a vital part of managing Parkinsonism as it helps to improve mobility, reduce stiffness, and enhance overall function. Our physiotherapists use specialized techniques and exercises to address specific symptoms and challenges associated with Parkinsonism. Through consistent therapy, patients can experience improved movement and a better quality of life.
