What is Parkinson’s Disease?

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. It affects movement, speech, cognition, and mood over time. While there is currently no cure, specialist rehabilitation can dramatically improve day-to-day functioning and confidence.

Common Symptoms We Help Manage

  • Tremors and rigidity
  • Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)
  • Freezing episodes
  • Postural instability and falls
  • Speech and swallowing difficulties
  • Cognitive and emotional challenges
  • Fatigue and sleep disturbances

Our Parkinson’s Rehabilitation Programmes Include:

  • Physiotherapy Improves balance, posture, gait, and strength using evidence-based interventions such as cueing, treadmill training, and functional movement re-education.
  • Occupational Therapy Supports patients in maintaining independence at home and in daily activities—e.g., dressing, washing, eating, and hobbies.
  • Speech and Language Therapy Helps with voice projection, clarity of speech, swallowing safety, and non-verbal communication strategies.
  • Neuropsychology and Emotional Support Managing anxiety, depression, and cognitive challenges through compassionate counselling and neuropsychological input.
  • Medication Optimisation Consultant oversight to review and support medical treatment in conjunction with therapy goals.
