Parkinson’s questions
When should someone with Parkinson’s see a physiotherapist?
At any stage. Early on, exercise helps you stay strong and active. Later, physiotherapy can help with walking, balance and falls.
Can you help with freezing?
Yes. I can teach strategies, such as visual or rhythm cues, that many people find helpful.
Can you see me at home or in a care home?
Yes, anywhere in Northamptonshire, as well as at the clinic.
