5 Ways Physical Therapy Can Help Parkinson’s Disease

9/15/2017

Approximately 500,000 people in the US have Parkinson’s so it is definitely something that is worth addressing. One of the ways to help with slowing the functional losses as a result of the disease is physical therapy. Here we will highlight 5 of the benefits of PT in Parkinson’s Disease patients.

1. We teach patients to take bigger steps and this allows them to speed up their walking. There are a series of exercises that are taught in the PT sessions that help patients learn how to take bigger steps.

2. The prescribed home program helps instill an exercise regiment that the patient can do and use to decrease functional losses on their own.

3. The BIG movements help the patients improve core strength, which will help with balance and decreasing incidence of falls.

4. Many Parkinson’s patients suffer from spine stiffness. The home exercises require patients to stretch the spine and thus decrease the stiffness effects caused by the disease.

5. Successful completion of a physical therapy plan of care, which for Parkinson’s is approximately 4 weeks), builds confidence in the patients that they can improve their function and quality of life.

My wife was diagnosed of Parkinsons Disease at age 59. She had severe calf pain, muscle pain, tremors, slurred speech, frequent falls, loss of balance, difficulty in getting up from sitting position. She was put on Senemet for 6 months and then Siferol was introduced and replaced the Senemet. During this time span she was also diagnosed with dementia. She started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality.

This year, our family doctor started her on NewLife Clinic Parkinsons Disease Herbal mixture, 1 month into treatment she improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain or tremors.

Visit NewLife Clinic website ww w.newlifeherbalclinic .com. She is strong again and able to go about daily activities.

Around age 60 I noticed that my handwriting was getting smaller and I was writing faster. I also noticed a small tremor in my right hand. The doctor went over my different symptoms and he suspected I'd either had a small stroke or the beginnings of Parkinson 's disease. After finding a neurologist and some testing I was diagnosed with the beginning stages of Parkinson’s disease. That was 4 years ago. I take Sinimet four times a day to control my symptoms, which include falling, imbalance, gait problems, swallowing difficulties, and slurring of speech,December 2017 our family doctor started me on Green House Herbal Clinic Parkinson’s Disease Herbal mixture, 5 weeks into treatment I improved dramatically. At the end of the full treatment course, the disease is totally under control. No case of dementia, hallucination, weakness, muscle pain or tremors.

I was diagnosed 2 years ago at age 63. Symptoms were tremor in right leg, loss of handwriting ability,My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small cramped printing and soft voice. I also had difficulty rising from a seated position and have balance issues. I started out taking only Azilect, then Mirapex, and then Sinemet. Several months ago I started falling frequently, hence the reason for Sinemet. During the summer of 2021, I was introduced to Health Herbs Clinic and their effective Parkinson’s herbal protocol. This protocol relieved symptoms significantly, even better than the medications I was given. Visit www . healthherbsclinic . com. After First month on treatment, my tremors mysterious stopped, had improvement walking. After I completed the treatment, all symptoms were gone. I live a more productive life. I was fortunate to have the loving support of my husband and family. I make it a point to appreciate every day!

My name is Kia Colian from Birmingham City. I want to appreciate Dr. Bharat and his Herbal supplement BUJAA which helped my mom to return back to normal from memory decline. My mom was diagnosed with Huntington's disease in 2015 and ever since then it has been from one hospital to another and from one medication to the other which was accumulated with horrible side effects, I was so confused that I had to take her to a care home in August 2018. I visit her every week to have a chat and conversation and to see if she will get better but at a stage, it got worse that she doesn't recognize me anymore asking me who I am and who my mother is, I was so confused that I had to take her out from the care home. I was desperate to find a cure to this disease which led me to a video on YouTube where Dr. Bharat's name was mentioned in the comment section his contact was also there and immediately I contacted him and explained my mom's condition to him. He promised me that my mom would get well with his supplements, at first I doubted him because my doctor here told me that the disease has no cure but considering what I was going through I ordered the medications which were delivered to me 5 days later by DHL courier service. He sent me the instructions on how to administer them to her, some with warm water and others with cold water. I did as he instructed and in just 2 months I start seeing great improvement in her communications Dr. Bharat instructed me to allow her to do what she loves doing so she can be happy, my mom loves music very well, I play her favorite songs and watch her tap her foot and nod her head, I was so happy to see my mom improve in her mental ability to retain and recall our previous conversation. Today I am glad to share this testimony to the world that my mom is completely healed from Huntington's disease with BUJAA herbal medicine. For those suffering from Huntington disease or have any love ones suffer this deadly disease should contact doctor bharat now via: dr.bharatkings@gmail.com or message him directly on WhatsApp via: +393509392854

My grandma has Parkinson’s disease, she is about 75 years old it was detected 7 years ago. Right now it’s getting more difficult to live for her, because of stiff muscles she can’t even move. L-dopa and carbidopa medicines are given, but won"t give much relief. She can"t eat food and the skin is damaging forming ganglia. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications she was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on natural treatments, I was introduced to Health Natural Centre and their Parkinson’s Herbal Protocol. She started on the Parkinson’s Treatment last year, her symptoms gradually diminished including her Tremors, Body Weakness and Muscle Pains. Reach them at healthnaturalcentre.org , She is getting active again since starting this treatment, she is able to walk again ( down the street and back )she have also resumed exercising to strengthen muscles!! God Bless all PD Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.

Make me a promise Phyna, my mother said. "Promise me you won't put me in a home or make me live with one of your sisters". It was a joke at the time when my mom was just starting to forget things. 07/10/2020 was the hardest day of my life. Watching my mom talk to herself, packing her things 4-5 times a day, saying she has to go home. It was heartbreaking. I broke down and cried with her a few times and then I realized how hard it must be on my dad too. He can't leave the house, he has to convince her that she lives in their house. I came to the decision to quit my job. My dad needs help. I live 6 hours away but instead of visiting my parents, I'll be visiting my husband. My mom has always been there for me and been my best friend so I want to be there for her. I keep telling myself that I can snap her out of it. I got her numerous medications including RISPERDAL(RISPERIDONE), HALDOL(HALOPPERIDOL), THORAZINE(CHLORPROMAZINE) and TETRABENAZINE(XENAZINE) and DEUTETRABENAZINE (AUSTEDO) instead of helping her, they almost destroyed her due to the side effects. As I was reading more about Huntington's Disease on the internet, I met with some comments of people testifying about Dr. Bharat and his BUJAA HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS that it works for Huntington's. I contacted the doctor immediately and explained my mother's condition to him, he assured me that my mom will be fine and her memory will come back to normal. I ordered his Herbal Supplements and it was delivered to me here in Canada by DHL courier company in less than a week with instructions on how to use them attached in the package. After 3 weeks of using these herbs, we began to see improvement, after 6 months my mom was better, and it's been 2 years now and my mom is completely free from this horrible disease called huntington's. In case your loved one is suffering from huntington's disease I will advise you to use BUJAA HERBAL SUPPLEMENTS it may also help you. You can contact Dr. Bharat via email; dr.bharatkings@gmail.com or Whatsapp him on: +393509392854
