Physical Therapy cannot absolutely cure Parkinson’s disease (PD) but can help patients with managing certain movement-related Parkinson’s symptoms. Many studies have shown that Physical Therapy holds certain short-term benefits, including improved walking, balance, strength, and flexibility in Parkinson’s, however, which approach of Physical Therapy is most effective is still unclear. Parkinson’s management through Physical Therapy […]

Parkinson’s Disease – Alternative Treatments
Till now, no scientifically proven treatment or method has been discovered to stop, slow or reverse the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, many people suffering from the disorder have had positive experiences with few non-clinical methods, including Balanced Diet, Physical Therapy, Yoga and relatively new methods like Guided Imagery and Music Therapy.

How Neuroplasticity helps in Parkinson’s Disease
Through the science of Neuroplasticity, now it is known that the brain has the natural ability to form new neural pathways and connections in response to several external environmental factors. This discovery means that the brain is a plastic organ that can be retained and repaired by using techniques well-suited to a long-term degenerative disorder […]
How Neuroplasticity helps in Stroke Rehabilitation
After a stroke, certain parts of a survivor’s brain can be damaged (depending upon stroke type). This results in few functions becoming impaired as they were once held in earlier healthy (but now damaged) parts of the brain. Neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to rewire itself after injury, allows the stroke survivor’s brain to rewire functions […]
