Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders affect the brain’s ability to control movement, leading to symptoms such as:
These challenges can greatly impact a person’s ability to carry out daily activities, maintain independence, and enjoy an active lifestyle. Through specialised, at-home support, SK Home Therapy helps clients manage symptoms and regain control over their movement and well-being.
Improving Mobility and Gait: Our sessions include exercises to help enhance movement fluidity, enabling clients to walk with improved balance. By targeting muscle strength and joint flexibility, we support clients in improving their gait, making walking feel more natural and less strenuous.
Balance and Coordination Training: Maintaining balance is crucial for those with movement disorders. We incorporate techniques that improve stability, significantly reducing the risk of falls and helping clients feel more secure in their daily activities.
Building Strength and Flexibility: Strengthening core and major muscle groups improves posture and reduces joint strain. By focusing on strength and flexibility, clients gain greater control, making everyday activities easier.
Techniques to Manage “Freezing” Episodes: For clients who experience “freezing” episodes, a symptom where movement suddenly stops, we introduce strategies that improve body awareness and responsiveness, helping clients regain movement more quickly and avoid potential falls.
Minimising Tremors and Enhancing Control: With targeted exercises, we work to improve motor control, helping reduce the impact of tremors on daily life. Through specific hand and arm exercises, clients can regain confidence in tasks like holding utensils or simply drinking from a cup.
Supporting Speech and Swallowing: Parkinson’s and some movement disorders can impact facial muscles, affecting speech and swallowing. We provide exercises to strengthen these muscles, helping clients communicate more effectively and eat with greater ease.
We begin with an in-depth assessment to understand each client’s specific challenges, goals, and health history. This helps us create a customised plan that is safe and effective.
Our in-home sessions allow clients to benefit from support in a familiar environment, reducing the stress of travel and enabling them to feel more comfortable in their progress.
We closely monitor each client’s progress, adjusting exercises and techniques to align with their evolving abilities. Our goal is to help clients achieve steady, sustainable improvements in mobility and daily life.
Our support goes beyond physical care; we aim to foster confidence, independence, and an improved quality of life. By empowering clients to manage symptoms effectively, we help them live with greater comfort and peace of mind.
