Personalized Physical Therapy For Effective Parkinson’s Disease Management

Improve Your Function With Goal-Oriented Treatment

More than 90,000 Americans are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease every year. Nerve cell damage in the brain causes dopamine levels to drop, leading to the symptoms of Parkinson’s. Parkinson’s often starts with a tremor in one hand. Other symptoms are slow movement, stiffness, and loss of balance.

While medications can help control the symptoms of Parkinson’s, physical therapy is vital for the overall management of Parkinson’s. The therapists at iMove PT will create an individual treatment program based upon your specific physical deficits and your specific goals.
