Why physiotherapy for Parkinson's?
Parkinson's is a progressive neurological disorder that affects the nervous system. This can cause symptoms such as stiffness, tremors, slow movement, and difficulty with balance or walking.
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in maintaining mobility and independence. At Fysi, we focus on what you can still do and help you maintain those capabilities for as long as possible.
Our treatment is aimed at:
- Improving and maintaining strength, coordination and balance
- Learning practical strategies to move more easily
- Reducing the risk of falls
- Supporting daily activities such as getting up, turning and walking
Who is physiotherapy for Parkinson's intended for?
Our specialized physiotherapists help people with Parkinson's disease in various stages of their condition. Treatment is tailored to your personal situation, symptoms, and goals.
Parkinson's affects everyone differently, so we always tailor the therapy to your situation, in consultation with you and your care network, if applicable.
What can you expect from treatment at Fysi?
At Fysi, we start with a comprehensive intake interview. We'll identify your symptoms, your goals, and any limitations you encounter in daily life.
On this basis we draw up a personal treatment plan with attention to:
- Balance and running training
- Posture, strength and flexibility
- Breathing and relaxation
- Fall prevention and fall strategies
- Energy balance and coping with fatigue
Treatment is possible in our practice or at home, depending on your situation.
