Parkinson's Disease

What is Parkinson's Disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, coordination, and balance. It occurs due to a decrease in dopamine levels in the brain, leading to symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and slowed movements.

 

Although Parkinson’s disease cannot be cured, early and consistent physiotherapy plays a crucial role in maintaining mobility, reducing symptoms, and improving quality of life.

 

At Brain & Spine Physiotherapy Center, we provide specialized Parkinson’s rehabilitation in Chennai, focusing on movement training, balance improvement, and functional independence through evidence-based neuro physiotherapy.

Common Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

​

  • Tremors (shaking of hands or limbs)

  • Muscle stiffness (rigidity)

  • Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)

  • Balance and postural instability

  • Reduced arm swing while walking

  • Freezing of gait (sudden inability to move)

​
