Parkinson's Disease is an
ailment that inhibits body functions. This is caused by the failure
of the brain to swiftly deliver information to the different body
parts for movement. The slow transfer of signals from the brain to
the body causes mobility problems and speech concerns. Parkinson's
Disease has no known cure to-date. However, physiotherapy is seen as
one of the more common ways to alleviate the symptoms of the ailment.
With limited mobility and
poor body functions, the joints and limbs of a person suffering from
Parkinson's become weaker. Physiotherapists can massage and treat the
arms and legs of the patient, increasing the strength of the muscles
and making sure that the arms and legs can still move.
One of the most
noticeable symptoms of Parkinson's is the limited balance of the
patient. People who have this sickness have a hard time walking and
tend to lose their balance when moving. Physiotherapy exercises the
limbs in a way that a person's balance can be slowly restored.
Posture and walking can also be recovered through physiotherapy.
Finally, physiotherapy
massage can alleviate the body pains caused by the disease. The first
indication of Parkinson's usually involves shoulder pains and muscle
aches. Physiotherapy can help relieve the pain and pinpoint locations
of joints that may be affected with the condition.
