Physical Therapy is one of the most common treatments because it helps Parkinson's patients with coordination, mobility, and balance issues. SoundSide Physical Therapy will assist in increasing strength, flexibility, and endurance. It can even help Parkinson's patients to regain lost skills like standing, walking, and reaching for objects.

We use various techniques such as exercises, stretching, therapeutic activities, and balance training to help Parkinson's patients improve their overall mobility.

Physical Therapy can also be beneficial in improving posture, gait, coordination, and even speech. At SoundSide Physical Therapy, we first assess each Parkinson's patient's individual needs to enable us to create a customized program.
