At NorthShore Physical Therapy Clinic, we understand the challenges faced by individuals living with Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. Our mission is to provide compassionate, personalized care to improve mobility, reduce symptoms, and enhance quality of life.
Understanding Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition characterized by symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and balance issues. Movement disorders also encompass conditions such as dystonia, ataxia, and essential tremor, which can significantly impact day-to-day activities.
Living with these conditions often means facing unique physical and emotional challenges. Our team of expert physical therapists is here to help you navigate these difficulties and regain control of your life.
Our Specialized Approach to Care
At NorthShore Physical Therapy Clinic, we use evidence-based techniques tailored to meet the specific needs of individuals with Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders. Our comprehensive approach includes:
1. Personalized Treatment Plans
Each patient receives a customized plan based on their unique symptoms, goals, and lifestyle. We perform thorough assessments to design programs that focus on improving strength, flexibility, and coordination.
2. Balance and Gait Training
Our specialized exercises address balance deficits and gait abnormalities, helping patients reduce the risk of falls and move more confidently.
3. Neuromuscular Re-education
Using advanced techniques, we help retrain the nervous system to optimize movement patterns and improve overall function.
4. Home Exercise Programs
We empower patients with at-home exercises to maintain progress and continue building strength and mobility between sessions.
