One of the things you will need to do if diagnosed with Parkinson’s is to stay ACTIVE!
Exercise is very beneficial for patients with Parkinson’s. Working with a trained Physical therapist is highly recommended. Why? Great question! Your therapist will guide you through the right moves to help increase your mobility, strength, and balance. Let’s take a look at some things your therapist can help you work on.
Note: Always consult your primary care physician before starting any exercise program. You will also want to work with a certified physical therapist that knows how to best help you.
LSVT BIG® for Parkinson’s is designed to help patients increase their amplitude of movement through exaggerated physical moves. Some of the movements you may be asked to perform could be wide arm swings or high steps. These types of motions help in retaining the muscles and slow down the progression of hypokinesia, the shuffling or smaller movements that come from Parkinson’s. So now you know a little more about LSVT but do you know what the letters stand for? LSVT is an acronym for Lee Silverman Voice Treatment and LSVT LOUD is therapy to amplify the voice of Parkinson’s patients.
If you are a loved one who has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s ask your primary physician about LSVT Treatments or reach out to a certified therapist. We are here to help keep you moving.
Reciprocal Movements are what you see when someone is walking, swimming, or cycling; left-to-right and side-to-side arm or leg movements. Your Parkinson’s disease may affect these movements and working with a therapist may help in reinforcing these movements with exercises designed to create patterns. Other activities, like dance and tai chi, can be fun ways to incorporate these movements into a daily lifestyle.
Parkinson’s can affect your balance causing you to feel unstable or unsure of your footing. It can also keep you from venturing out in public for fear of falling. Our certified therapist can help you with gait training. They will teach you new ways to compensate for any balance issues and help you feel more confident.
Patients with Parkinson’s experience stiffness (tight hips, hamstrings, calf muscles) and it’s recommended that they stretch frequently throughout the day. This helps prevent tightness and allows for more fluid movements. Speak with one of our certified therapists and ask them to show you how.
Strength training is important for everyone, not just those affected by Parkinson’s. It is important for all of us to keep our muscles strong since they weaken with age. Research has suggested this is a bigger problem for patients living with Parkinson’s. Your therapists will work with you on types of exercises you can do to help keep your muscles strong.
Our therapists work to help educate on the importance of movement along with providing exceptional care. Assisting you with different exercises that are not only beneficial, but help empower you to maintain better health. The good news is that with timely treatment, patients with dystonia, ataxia, essential tremor and similar conditions have seen improvement and slowing progression.
