Parkinson’s - Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation

What is Parkinson's?

These can cause problems with balance, pain and reduced mobility leading to increased risk of falls and reduced ability to manage daily routines.

Common symptoms of Parkinson’s are:
  • Involuntary shaking of particular parts of the body (tremor)
  • Slowness of movement
  • Stiffness of muscles

These can cause problems with balance, pain and reduced mobility leading to increased risk of falls and reduced ability to manage daily routines.

Other physical and psychological symptoms which may be experienced can include

  • Problems sleeping
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Memory problems
  • Loss of smell

Your posture, movement pattern and fitness level can change as your condition progresses and this can affect your daily routines.
