For People with Parkinson's Disease

Comprehensive and Individualized Physical Therapy Services for the Management of Parkinson's Disease

Whether you are newly diagnosed or have had Parkinson's disease for a number of years, our physical therapists can help you manage your Parkinson's disease over your lifetime. First, we conduct a comprehensive initial examination using assessment tools specifically designed to measure the abilities of people with Parkinson's disease. Based on the results of our examination, we can provide anindividualized treatment program: This program may include:

A variety of exercises and strategies to help you stay active, optimize your day to day function and improve quality of life.
Stretching, strengthening and cardiovascular fitness training to help you decrease stiffness, increase flexibility, improve strength and increase fitness and energy level.
Strategies to help you manage freezing, difficulty with turning, moving in bed, rising from a chair, walking or falling.
A plan for follow-up visits once you have completed your individual sessions. This allows us to assess your progress and to help meet your needs over time.
