Living Independently with Parkinson’s: A Physiotherapist’s Guide

Parkinson’s doesn’t have to mean giving up independence. With the right support, patients can continue living active, fulfilling lives. At Gage Physio, we help Hamilton residents manage symptoms and stay mobile.

Key Challenges to Independence 

    • Difficulty with walking and balance

    • Muscle stiffness and tremors

    • Fatigue and cognitive changes

    • Fear of falling

How Physiotherapy Supports Independence

Our programs include:

    • Home safety assessments

    • Strength and mobility training

    • Balance and coordination exercises

    • Education for patients and caregivers

The Role of SAFEx in Daily Function

SAFEx, developed by Dr. Quincy Almeida, is designed to improve motor control and cognitive function. It’s especially effective for: 

    • Enhancing movement precision

    • Reducing freezing episodes

    • Supporting neuroplasticity
