Physical Therapy For Parkinson's Disease



If you have Parkinson's, you would know that it is a neurologic disorder that causes your brain to have difficulty in controlling muscle movements. Most physicians would claim that it has no direct cure, and would prescribe various drugs to control symptoms. But apart from this it is also important that some other methods, such as physical therapy for Parkinson's disease, are done in order for improvements to surface.

Treatment for Parkinsons however, does not target the root cause of the disease, but instead aims to manage symptoms by decreasing them through various types of drugs. Your doctor may wait for your symptoms to really become a hindrance to your activities before prescribing drugs.


What physical therapy for Parkinsons disease does is that it helps you compensate for movement difficulties. A therapist may teach you how to control your muscles to be able to do basic activities, like picking up objects.


This type of non-pharmacologic therapy along with a change in lifestyle may not promise to eliminate all symptoms, but are still very important to help improve your condition. After all, you cannot rely too much on your prescribed drugs as they may add toxicity to your body.


With physical therapy for Parkinson's disease, you are empowered to naturally address your symptoms like problems in coordination, pain, and weakness. And if partnered with much more natural methods such as a healthy diet, then significant changes may be expected.


This particular illness may be difficult and you cannot rely solely on medications because often times they may do you more harm than help you with your condition. But with practicing physical therapy for Parkinsons disease  and adopting other natural methods, you are one step forward to taking control of your condition.

  1. I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 37. My father had it, so I don't know if it's my luck or heredity. My first problem was fine motor skills, especially writing. After five years of waiting, I saw a neurologist who confirmed my fears. I was immediately started on Sinemet. All of this was 22 years ago. I will be 59 in a few days. I have had good luck with the Sinemet and other meds like Mirapex, but I was extremely tired of it. I have also noticed cognitive decline, but that is also related to a now-removed brain tumor.i had to look for an alternative treatment. I read in a health forum of a herbal clinic in Johannesburg who has a successful treatment to P.D, i immediately contacted the herbal clinic via their website (www.Healthherbalclinic.weebly.com) and purchased the parkinson's herbal formula. I received the parkinson's herbal treatment via courier and immediately commenced usage, i only used the herbal remedy for 7 weeks all my symptoms were unbelievably reversed, i did another series of test i was confirmed free of parkinson's.
