Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement. Common symptoms include tremors, muscle rigidity, slowness of movement (bradykinesia), and postural instability. While medical management is essential, specialized neurological physical therapy is vital to preserving independence and mobility.
Specialized Neurological Care
At Viva Physio in Nasr City, our Parkinson’s rehabilitation programs are led by Prof. Dr. Abeer Elwishy. We utilize evidence-based neuroplasticity training specifically designed to help the brain bypass damaged neurological pathways and maintain fluid movement.
How We Treat Parkinson's Symptoms
- Overcoming "Freezing of Gait": Teaching specific rhythmic and visual cueing techniques to help patients initiate walking when they feel "stuck" to the floor.
- Amplitude Training (LSVT BIG/LOUD principles): Focusing on exaggerated, large movements to counteract the disease's tendency to make movements small and slow.
- Balance & Fall Prevention: Targeted exercises to improve postural reflexes and core stability, keeping patients safe at home.
- Flexibility & Rigidity Reduction: Implementing deep stretching protocols to combat trunk and limb stiffness.
