At ALO Physiotherapy, Parkinson’s treatment focuses on helping people maintain mobility, independence and confidence in everyday movement. Our neurological physiotherapists create personalised rehabilitation programmes designed around your symptoms, stage of Parkinson’s and individual goals.

Treatment begins with a detailed assessment of your movement, balance, posture, walking pattern and strength. From this, we develop a tailored programme to address the specific challenges Parkinson’s can cause.

Your rehabilitation may include:

• Gait training to improve walking pattern, step length and arm movement
• Balance and stability exercises to reduce fall risk and improve confidence
• Strength and mobility training to combat stiffness and maintain muscle function
• Postural retraining to address stooped posture and improve alignment
• Functional movement practice for everyday activities such as turning, standing and transferring
• Movement cueing strategies to help overcome freezing episodes and improve coordination

Our goal is to help the brain and body work together more efficiently. By encouraging consistent movement, repetition and targeted exercise, neuro physiotherapy can help people with Parkinson’s stay active, maintain independence and improve quality of life.

Parkinson’s rehabilitation often benefits from a multidisciplinary approach. Alongside specialist neurological physiotherapy, several complementary treatments offered at ALO Physiotherapy can support mobility, strength and overall well being.

• Manual Therapy: Hands-on physiotherapy techniques can help reduce muscle stiffness, improve joint mobility and relieve discomfort associated with rigidity and postural changes.
• Tecar Therapy: This advanced therapy stimulates circulation and tissue recovery, helping reduce pain and muscle tension while supporting rehabilitation progress.
• Shockwave Therapy: Shockwave treatment may be used to address musculoskeletal pain or soft-tissue issues that can develop due to altered movement patterns.
• Sports Massage & Soft Tissue Therapy: Targeted soft tissue work can reduce muscle tightness, improve flexibility and help manage stiffness often experienced in Parkinson’s.
• Movement Rehabilitation & Strength Training:Exercise programmes designed by physiotherapists focus on improving balance, gait, coordination and functional strength.
  
• Telehealth Physiotherapy: Virtual physiotherapy sessions allow patients to continue rehabilitation exercises and receive professional guidance from home when clinic visits are not possible.
• Physiotherapy Home Visits: For individuals with mobility challenges, physiotherapy can be delivered at home, allowing patients to receive clinic-level care in a familiar environment.
