Parkinson’s Disease
Physical therapy for Parkinson’s disease is a targeted, evidence-based approach to managing the movement-related symptoms of the condition including tremor, rigidity, slowed movement (bradykinesia), shuffling gait, balance loss, and freezing episodes. While there is no cure for Parkinson’s, research consistently shows that intensive, high-amplitude physical therapy can slow functional decline, improve mobility, and significantly enhance quality of life.
We provide specialized care that incorporates big-movement training principles, gait and balance work, postural retraining, and strength training tailored to the stage and severity of the disease. By bringing this therapy directly into the home, we can train the exact movements that matter most getting out of a chair, navigating doorways, turning safely, and reducing fall risk in the spaces where falls actually happen.

- Improves walking speed, stride length, and gait quality
- Enhances balance and reduces fall risk
- Addresses freezing episodes and turning difficulty
