Exercise therapy for people with Parkinson’s
Understanding Parkinson’s disease
Exercise can be beneficial to those suffering from Parkinson’s disease both psychologically and physically, because of the way the disease affects the person’s ability to move by doing regular exercise it will help to keep the patient’s limbs and joints supple, improve their flexibility and help to keep their muscles strong.
Although exercise cannot stop the disease from progressing it can make a big difference to the person’s lifestyle in that it can help to improve their balance, help them to correct problems with their gait and help to strengthen muscles which are associated with speaking and swallowing.
