Physiotherapy is a cornerstone in managing Parkinson’s disease (PD). It utilizes targeted exercises and movement strategies to improve mobility, increase muscle strength, enhance balance, and reduce the risk of falls, ultimately helping patients maintain independence and quality of life.Core InterventionsAerobic Exercise: Moderate to high-intensity training (e.g., stationary cycling, treadmill walking) to improve overall cardiovascular endurance and reduce motor disease severity.Resistance Training: Progressive strength training to build power, reduce rigidity, and improve activities of daily living.Balance & Fall Prevention: Specific exercises like Tai Chi or dedicated balance drills to improve postural stability and minimize fall risks.Flexibility & Posture: Targeted stretching to combat muscle tightness and postural deformities (stooped posture) frequently seen in PD.
