Many times the therapy for Parkinson's disease patients can easily be done in the convenience of their own home. Doctors provide helpful tips and moves that can extend, reinforce, and loosen the muscles. Usually the stretches and movement techniques can be taught in 3 office visits with a doctor. After these visits, the patient only needs to come in for occasional visits to track progress and movement. Physical therapy will help individuals become more independent, strengthening a patient's coordination, balance, and gain strength. Individuals who do not have deep brain stimulators can use a local heat application to sore muscles and body pains. This application gives off a high-frequency electrical current that warms the area and provides relief to the patient.
