Structured therapy to improve balance, walking and daily movement, and to reduce fall risk in Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease affects movement gradually, often bringing stiffness, slowness and balance difficulty that make everyday tasks harder over time. While physiotherapy cannot reverse the underlying condition, it plays a well-established role in maintaining mobility, independence and confidence for as long as possible.
Parkinson's disease results from reduced dopamine production in the brain, which affects the signals controlling smooth, coordinated movement. This shows up as tremor, muscle rigidity, slowness of movement and postural instability. Because the condition is progressive, therapy is not a one-time fix but an ongoing programme adjusted as needs change.
Dr. Vashisht builds a therapy plan focused on maintaining independence and reducing fall risk, adjusted as the condition progresses:
Home-visit physiotherapy is available for patients for whom travelling to the clinic is difficult.
Physiotherapy does not alter the underlying disease process, but regular structured exercise has been shown to help maintain mobility, balance and independence for longer.
Yes, when the exercise programme is designed and supervised by a physiotherapist familiar with the condition, taking into account balance risk and individual capacity.
Yes, home-visit physiotherapy is available across Kharar, Mohali and Chandigarh for patients who find travel difficult.
A structured therapy plan helps you stay mobile and confident for longer.
