How Physical Therapy Supports Parkinson’s, Stroke Recovery, and Multiple Sclerosis

How Physical Therapy Supports Parkinson’s, Stroke Recovery, and Multiple Sclerosis

Neurological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and multiple sclerosis (MS) can greatly impact mobility, balance, and overall quality of life. For individuals navigating these challenges, physical therapy provides a powerful path toward regaining strength, improving movement, and maintaining independence.

At Precision Chiropractic and Rehab in Stuart, FL, Dr. Chelsea Hollingsworth and Dr. Grace Reyes specialize in neuro-related physical therapy, offering expert care for patients managing neurological conditions. Through personalized treatment plans, they focus on improving motor function, reducing fall risks, and helping patients regain confidence in their movements.

Dr. Hollingsworth and Dr. Reyes use hands-on therapy, gait training, and neuromuscular re-education to help stroke survivors regain independence.

1. Stroke Recovery

A stroke can result in weakness, loss of coordination, and difficulty performing everyday activities. With the right rehabilitation approach, patients can regain lost function and improve their quality of life.

How Therapy Helps:

  • Strengthening weakened muscles and improving coordination.
  • Relearning movements for daily tasks like walking and gripping objects.
  • Enhancing balance and reducing the risk of falls.

2. Parkinson’s Disease Therapy

Parkinson’s disease affects movement, often causing tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with coordination. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in slowing symptom progression and improving mobility.

How Therapy Helps:

  • Balance training to prevent falls.
  • Large, exaggerated movement exercises to counteract stiffness.
  • Gait training to improve walking patterns and reduce shuffling.

Both doctors incorporate postural restoration techniques and gait training to help Parkinson’s patients stay active and engaged in daily life.

3. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Management

MS impacts the nervous system, leading to fatigue, muscle weakness, and coordination difficulties. Physical therapy helps patients build strength and improve movement efficiency.

How Therapy Helps:

  • Addressing muscle weakness with targeted strength training.
  • Improving endurance and reducing fatigue through controlled exercise.
  • Teaching adaptive strategies for maintaining mobility.

With expertise in postural-related therapy and balance training, Dr. Hollingsworth and Dr. Reyes help MS patients improve stability and prevent falls.
