The Challenge of Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s Disease can gradually affect balance, coordination, and everyday movement, making familiar tasks take more effort. These changes can feel frustrating—but they don’t have to define your day.
With Parkinson’s physical therapy, your brain and body can work together to improve control, steadiness, and confidence. Focused movement retrains the brain through neuroplasticity, helping you stay active and independent for as long as possible.
At Congruence Physical Therapy & Wellness, we don’t just treat symptoms—we teach strategies that help you move with purpose, reclaim confidence, and make every step count.
How Physical Therapy Helps with Parkinson’s Disease
At Congruence Physical Therapy & Wellness, our Parkinson’s programs are built around one simple truth: movement is medicine. Regular, targeted exercise supports brain health, improves mobility, and helps you maintain your independence as the disease progresses.
We use evidence-based, neuroplasticity-focused techniques designed to help you:
-
Improve balance, posture, and coordination
-
Reduce stiffness, tremors, and slowed movement
-
Reduce freezing and improve walking ability.
-
Strengthen confidence in everyday activities
-
Reconnect mind and body through focused training
Every session is guided by a licensed physical therapist who understands the unique challenges of Parkinson’s. Together, we’ll create a plan that meets you where you are and helps you move forward with purpose.

I focus on consistency — providing regular, Parkinson’s-specific exercise sessions that become part of your lifestyle.
With expert guidance and ongoing coaching, you’ll learn strategies to sustain function and slow the progression of movement-related symptoms.
