Parkinsons disease: home physiotherapy

How physiotherapy helps

Parkinson\u02bcs disease is a progressive neurodegenerative condition, but proper physiotherapy can significantly slow the progression of motor symptoms. During home physiotherapy, a specialized therapist applies a personalized program targeting gait improvement (LSVT BIG method), balance, posture, and fine motor skills. Techniques with auditory or visual cueing are used to overcome movement initiation difficulty. The program also includes dual-task exercises and fall prevention training. Systematic physiotherapy 2–3 times per week has been shown to significantly improve quality of life and reduce fall risk by 50% in Parkinson\u02bcs patients.

Common symptoms
