Introduction
As Parkinson's disease progresses, the effectiveness of drug treatment can decrease over time and symptoms can re-emerge. We know this as wearing-off.
When these periods of wearing off occurs, some people cannot move as freely as before, for example they feel their feet are glued to the floor when they want to walk. In this section, we see physiotherapy in practice, using cues, exercises and techniques that help to restore movement, maintain movement and improve mobility.
Please look through this section and share the various tips & tricks that people around the world have developed to help them manage their 'moments of difficulty' caused by Parkinson's.
