Understanding Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's Disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement, caused by the loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain. Common symptoms include tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability. While there's no cure, physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing symptoms, maintaining mobility, and improving quality of life. Early intervention and consistent exercise can help slow disease progression and maintain function longer.
