Parkinson's Disease
Living with Parkinson’s disease can affect much more than movement alone. Everyday activities such as walking, getting out of a chair, maintaining balance, or even completing simple daily routines may gradually become more difficult. We understand that changes in mobility, stiffness, coordination, and confidence can feel frustrating and emotionally challenging for both individuals and their families.
At K 7 Physiotherapy, we provide personalised Parkinson’s disease physiotherapy focused on helping people move more comfortably, maintain independence, and improve confidence in daily life. We believe rehabilitation should feel supportive, practical, and tailored to each person’s individual needs and goals.
What Is Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that mainly affects movement and coordination. It most commonly affects older adults, although younger individuals can also develop the condition.
Parkinson’s disease can affect:
- Movement and walking
- Balance and coordination
- Speech and communication
- Mood and emotional wellbeing
- Cognition and concentration
- Bladder and bowel function
- Everyday independence
Symptoms can develop gradually and may affect each person differently. Some people experience mild movement difficulties, while others may notice greater challenges with balance, mobility, and day-to-day tasks over time.
What Are the Main Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s disease mainly affects motor function, which means it can impact movement and physical coordination.
Common symptoms include:
- Bradykinesia (slowness of movement)
- Muscle stiffness or rigidity
- Tremors affecting the arms or legs
- Reduced balance and stability
- Shuffling walking pattern
- Freezing episodes during movement
- Reduced coordination
- Difficulty turning or changing direction
- Postural changes or stooped posture
- Dystonia (involuntary muscle contractions)
- Difficulty with transfers such as sit-to-stand
- Reduced confidence with mobility
Some individuals may also experience cognitive difficulties, including:
- Reduced concentration
- Difficulty multitasking
- Challenges with planning or sequencing activities
- Fatigue during daily activities
Because symptoms vary from person to person, physiotherapy treatment is always tailored to the individual.
What Causes Parkinson’s Disease?
Parkinson’s disease is caused by damage to nerve cells in the brain. These nerve cells normally produce dopamine, a chemical messenger that plays an important role in movement and coordination.
As dopamine levels decline, the brain’s ability to communicate effectively with the body is affected. This may affect movement, balance, coordination, posture, and physical control.
Although the exact cause of Parkinson’s disease is not fully understood, physiotherapy can help people manage symptoms, improve mobility, and enhance their quality of life.
How Can Physiotherapy Help Individuals With Parkinson’s Disease?
The timing of medication is often important for people living with Parkinson’s disease, as medications can help improve the effects of reduced dopamine levels in the brain.
When medication is working effectively, many people find it easier to move and may feel more comfortable exercising, walking, or performing everyday activities with fewer restrictions.
We understand the importance of scheduling physiotherapy sessions around medication timings where appropriate, allowing patients to gain the maximum benefit from exercise and rehabilitation.
If medication appears to be becoming less effective or symptoms are becoming more difficult to manage, speaking to a Parkinson’s nurse, doctor, GP, or other healthcare professional may be beneficial.
Why Is Medication Timing Important in Parkinson’s Disease?
At K 7 Physiotherapy, we carry out a detailed and holistic assessment before creating a personalised physiotherapy treatment plan tailored to the individual’s symptoms, mobility challenges, and goals.
Our physiotherapy aims to support movement, independence, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
