Here at Wellness Embodied, our team of qualified physiotherapists are trained to work with patients with Parkinson’s Disease. In our clinic, we focus on comprehensive assessment, preparing and delivering personalised treatment plans and support to best meet individual needs. We treat the person, as well as the presenting condition, designing interventions based on the individual needs of each patient. We’re here to support you with your Cairns Parkinson’s disease management, and pride ourselves on going the extra mile for our patients, including home visits as needed.
Regular exercise has been shown to improve cognitive function, gait and walking performance, and quality of life for those with Parkinson’s Disease. That’s why our Cairns Parkinson’s disease management includes assessment and working with our team to closely develop an appropriate plan to enhance your physical needs and wellbeing. The plans prioritise increasing muscle strength, to improve overall balance and mobility and minimise the risk of falls. Improving flexibility, to address motion and muscle rigidity, and improving aerobic capacity to improve heart function, body composition and quality of life.
Our Cairns Parkinson’s disease management is customised to meet your specific needs and provided in a supportive environment. In addition to regular exercise, hydrotherapy and sessions with our team of allied health professionals, we will provide a range of other hands-on therapies, including Remedial Massage and Physiotherapy. All of these can assist with and provide relief from tightness in muscles and joints, pain management and mood improvement. At Wellness Embodied we know each person is different and our Cairns Parkinson’s disease management is designed to best meet your needs.
