Parkinson’s disease physiotherapy uses **high-amplitude movement training (LSVT BIG concepts)**, external cueing strategies (visual, auditory, rhythmic), gait training, freezing-management techniques and balance work to combat the slowing, shuffling, freezing and falls typical of Parkinson’s.
Regular, expert-led physiotherapy has been shown to slow functional decline, reduce fall risk and preserve independence for years.
