Parkinson’s Physiotherapy at Home
What is Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is an incurable neurological condition which affects the brain’s capacity to regulate movements. It’s caused by the loss of dopamine which is a key chemical messenger, causing symptoms such as tremors, stiff muscles, slow movement and poor balance. As time passes, people might also develop non-motor symptoms like depression, fatigue anxiety, depression, cognitive changes and sleep disorders. Parkinson’s disease may gradually reduce an individual’s mobility and independence which makes early and ongoing rehabilitation crucial to ensure the highest health and quality of life.
Common Challenges with Parkinson’s Disease
Tremors and Involuntary Movements
Shaking, especially in the hands or limbs at rest, is a hallmark symptom that can affect daily tasks and coordination.
Slowness of Movement (Bradykinesia)
Parkinson’s often causes movements to become slow and effortful, impacting walking speed, fine motor skills, and overall mobility.
Muscle Rigidity and Stiffness
Tight or rigid muscles can cause pain and limit range of motion, making it difficult to move freely and maintain posture.
Balance and Postural Instability
Impaired balance and reflexes increase the risk of falls, especially when turning or walking on uneven surfaces.
Gait Abnormalities
Shuffling steps, reduced arm swing, or freezing of gait can make walking unsafe and limit independence.
Fatigue and Non-Motor Symptoms
Parkinson’s can also bring on fatigue, mood changes, and cognitive challenges, complicating rehabilitation and daily living.
