Specialized Therapy to Reclaim Your Movement and Confidence
Our Functional Approach to Parkinson’s Physical & Occupational Therapy
Whether your goal is safer walking, fewer falls, better bed mobility, stronger hands, or getting back to golf, we build a plan around real-life function, not generic exercises.
When Parkinson’s Starts Changing Daily Life
This condition does not just affect movement; it affects confidence, energy, safety, and independence. You might notice:
Gait and Movement: Slower walking, shuffling of feet, or freezing of gait—especially when changing floor surfaces or going through doorways.
Balance: Balance problems or a fear of falling.
Daily Function: Weakness, stiffness, or coordination changes.
Energy: Fatigue that makes simple tasks feel heavy.
Mobility: Trouble with bed mobility, transfers, or stairs.
Fine Motor Skills: Hands not cooperating for buttons, writing, or cooking.
Confidence: Feeling less steady in busy environments or uneven surfaces.
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and you are not stuck.
How Therapy
Works at FAM
A plan built around your real goals. We start by learning what you want back, then we build a focused plan to improve the specific skills that support that outcome.
Physical Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease
Walking and gait training for steadiness and confidence.
Strength, endurance, and posture to reduce strain and improve control.
Balance training to reduce fall risk and improve stability.
Transfers, stairs, and mobility strategies that match your current level.
Occupational Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease
Hand and arm function for daily tasks and work demands.
Fine motor control for writing, buttons, cooking, and hobbies.
Energy conservation strategies to manage fatigue and pacing.
Home and routine adjustments that make life easier without giving up independence.
Sessions are one-on-one, and the plan adjusts based on how you perform and respond, not a preset exercise sheet.
Specialized Care: LSVT BIG Program
If LSVT BIG is appropriate for your goals, we have therapists trained in the protocol to support bigger, safer movement during daily activities. If you have questions about whether LSVT BIG is right for you, call and we will guide you.
Why Choose FAM for Parkinson’s Rehab
Many clinics treat this condition like standard orthopedic therapy. That approach misses what matters most. Parkinson’s requires a plan that accounts for the nervous system, fatigue patterns, balance systems, and how symptoms change day to day. We take the time to understand your specific challenges and build therapy around the outcomes you care about most.

FAQs
Do you treat all levels of Parkinson’s?
Yes. We work with a wide range of needs, from bed mobility and transfers to higher-level goals like returning to hobbies and sport.
Do I need a referral?
It depends on your insurance plan. Call and we will tell you what you need before your first visit.
That is normal. We adjust the plan based on what your body is doing today while still moving you toward your larger goals.
What if my symptoms change day to day?
What should I bring to my first visit?
Any recent medical notes, a list of medications, and any devices you use (cane, walker, brace). If there is a specific activity you want back, tell us.
