Achieva Rehab: Parkinsons

While there is no cure for Parkinson’s Disease currently, a tremendous amount can be done to improve one’s function and maintain mobility. In coordination with your physician, rehabilitation focuses on improving movement, safety, independence with activities, transfers, cognitive aptitude, speech, and swallowing. Our dedicated physical and occupational therapists will travel to your home to provide you with the best care for your needs. For Parkinson’s Disease, it is recommended that you seek the help of both physical therapists and occupational therapists. Our physical therapists will focus on improving your range of motion, strength, stamina, safety with transfers from low surfaces, posture, and movement, so you can reclaim some independence in your life. Our occupational therapists will focus on movements of the upper extremities, cognitive improvements, coordination with dressing and caring for oneself, and any adaptations that can be made so you can live as independently as possible. HELP MANAGE THE SYMPTOMS OF PARKINSON’S DISEASE

If you are having trouble with speech and swallowing, it is likely that you will also have to seek help from a speech therapist. Speech therapists focus on improving speech, safety with eating and drinking, cognitive abilities, and writing. It is important to note that our rehabilitation professionals work together as a team to help you reach your goals. Our main focus is to help you maintain and improve all levels of physical function, so you can reclaim at least some parts of your independence. If you have been living with Parkinson’s Disease and you live in the Schuylkill County or the greater Hazleton Area, don’t hesitate to contact our in-home physical therapy clinic today. At Achieva Rehabilitation, our physical and occupational therapists are dedicated to helping you regain your optimum levels of function at home so you can live your life as independently as possible.
