What is a Parkinson's Exercise Program?
Our Parkinson’s exercise program provides specialized movement therapy for people diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Sessions focus on
maintaining mobility, reducing symptoms, and improving daily function
through targeted exercises proven to help with PD symptoms.
Care includes amplitude training, dual-task exercises, balance work,
and strength conditioning. Programs are delivered at home, in clinic,
or via telehealth, with progress tracked at every step.
Our team creates personalized exercise plans based on your symptoms,
medication schedule, and movement goals.

Common Parkinson's Symptoms We Help Manage

Effective Parkinson's Exercise Treatment Techniques
We use evidence-based techniques specifically proven to help with Parkinson’s
symptoms, tailored to your disease stage and daily fluctuations.
Your clinician will explain each exercise clearly, demonstrate proper form,
and adjust intensity based on your medication timing and energy levels.
A detailed evaluation of your movement patterns, symptom presentation, and functional challenges. We assess tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia, and postural
stability, then set realistic goals based on what matters most to you.
Large-amplitude movement exercises scientifically proven to help with PD.
We teach you to make bigger movements, louder voice projection, and more forceful actions to counteract the tendency toward smaller motions.
Exercises combining physical movement with thinking tasks, like walking while counting or carrying objects. This helps manage the difficulty with doing two things at once that's common in Parkinson's.
Parkinson's-specific balance training including weight shifting, turning
strategies, and managing freezing episodes. We teach techniques for getting unstuck and moving safely through doorways and tight spaces.
Targeted stretching and rotation exercises to combat muscle stiffness.
Focus on trunk rotation, neck mobility, and facial exercises to maintain expression and reduce mask-like features.
Practice everyday tasks that become challenging with PD: getting in/out
of bed, standing from chairs, turning in bed, and managing buttons or
writing. We break down complex movements into manageable steps.
Visual, auditory, and tactile cues to improve walking and overcome freezing. Includes metronome training, floor markers, and rhythmic exercises often incorporating music or counting patterns.
Breathing exercises and voice projection training to maintain communication ability. We coordinate with speech therapy when needed for comprehensive care of voice and swallowing changes.

Jordyn Chapple2025-04-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We're in Gold Coast and used Health Next Door’s mobile physiotherapy for my brother, who was off work with a shoulder injury. The whole process was easy and Jacob came straight to the house, which helped heaps while my brother was in pain. Jacob was amazing!
