Many people become more cautious or even afraid to move. As a result, they become less active, even though movement is crucial for maintaining strength and balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why is the risk of falling increased in Parkinson&#039;s?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Parkinson&#039;s, the control of movement changes. This can cause:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>reduced balance and stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>smaller and less controlled steps<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>difficulty turning or changing direction<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>delayed reactions in unexpected situations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Situations such as standing up, starting to walk, or moving in a busy environment can also be extra challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How does physiotherapy help with fall prevention?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fysi.nl\/en\/treatments\/physiotherapy-for-parkinsons\/\">Physiotherapy for Parkinson&#039;s<\/a><\/strong> focuses on improving the factors that influence falls. This means that training is not limited to strength or balance, but focuses on the complete picture of movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treatment can focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>improving balance and stability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>building muscle strength in the legs and torso<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>training running skills and rhythm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>practicing daily movements such as turning and standing up<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, we look at situations in which you experience risk. Together, we practice how to deal with them better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More confidence in movement<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fall prevention is not just about preventing a fall, but also about confidence. By practicing and gaining insight into your own movements, you often start moving more confidently again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Fysi, we look together at what works for you, so that you can stay active as independently and safely as possible. To do this, make <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fysi.nl\/en\/appointment\/\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.fysi.nl\/afspraak\/\">an appointment<\/a><\/strong> or take <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fysi.nl\/en\/contact\/\">Contact<\/a><\/strong> join us. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Falling is relatively common among people with Parkinson&#039;s.
