Parkinson’s Disease Physiotherapy
Parkinson’s Disease (PD)
Living with Parkinson’s can mean adapting to gradual changes in movement, balance and energy. Everyday tasks may take more thought or feel more tiring than they once did.
Physiotherapy will help you stay active, maintain confidence and continue doing the things that matter to you. Specialist neurological physiotherapy focuses on encouraging bigger, more controlled movements, supporting balance and posture, and helping you move with greater ease in everyday life.
For over 30 years, we’ve supported individuals and families as they navigate life with Parkinson’s, helping them stay confident, adapt to change and preserve independence in ways that truly matter.
How Neuro Physiotherapy Can Help with Parkinson’s
We know that no two people with Parkinson’s experience the condition in the same way. That’s why our approach is tailored to your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle. Many individuals and families have concerns about the changes they notice, and these are all areas where the right support can make a meaningful difference over time.
Things we can help with:
- Rhythmic shaking or tremor, often starting in the hand or fingers
- Slowness of movement (bradykinesia)
- Feeling “stuck” when starting to move as though your feet are glued to the ground
- Stiffness or rigidity in your arms, legs, or trunk
- Changes in balance or feeling unsteady on your feet
- Shuffling steps or reduced arm swing when walking
- Fatigue and reduced stamina throughout the day
- Changes in posture, including stooping forward

Get Started with Burscough Neuro Physiotherapy
The first step in starting physiotherapy with us is to arrange an initial assessment. This gives us the opportunity to understand your current situation, your goals, and what support will feel most helpful for you.
Your initial assessment lasts approximately 90 minutes and looks at all aspects of how Parkinson’s Disease currently impacts your life. We will:
- Assess your movement, balance and function
- Discuss what matters most to you
- Be honest about what improvement may realistically be achievable
- Create a clear plan to keep moving forward
The assessment also includes an element of treatment, so you leave with practical input from the very first session.
If you’re unsure whether neuro physiotherapy would be helpful, please feel free to call us for a friendly chat. We’re happy to talk through your situation and offer guidance on what moving forward may look like for you.
- No referral is needed. You are welcome to contact our team directly to arrange an initial assessment.
Can physiotherapy slow the progression of Parkinson’s?
Physiotherapy cannot stop Parkinson’s from progressing. However, research shows that regular, targeted exercise and movement-based therapy can help maintain strength, mobility, balance and overall function for longer. Practising controlled, “bigger” movements can also support confidence and independence as symptoms change over time.
How soon after my Parkinson’s diagnosis should I start physiotherapy?
It’s never too early to begin. Early physiotherapy can help you maintain mobility, improve posture, and build strategies for everyday tasks before symptoms become more limiting. Even if you’ve been living with Parkinson’s for some time, physiotherapy will support strength, balance, and confidence, helping you stay independent and active in your daily life.
Do I need physiotherapy if I’m already on medication for Parkinson’s?
Yes. Medication helps manage symptoms, but it doesn’t replace the benefits of physiotherapy. Specialist exercises and movement strategies can complement your medication, helping you maintain mobility, reduce stiffness, improve balance, and continue doing the activities that matter most to you.
Do you offer home visits for Parkinson’s physiotherapy?
Yes. We provide home visits across Liverpool, Sefton, Merseyside and West Lancashire. Seeing you in your own environment allows us to address practical challenges in daily life and provide exercises that fit more naturally into your routine.
Do I need a referral to start physiotherapy?
No — you can contact our team directly to arrange an assessment.
