Placing You at the Centre of Care

Parkinson's

Parkinson's Rehabilitation

Parkinson’s is a long-term neurological condition most often affecting those aged 50 years and above; however, it can also affect those as young as 30 or 40 and this is known as Young-onset Parkinson’s. Therapy can include a multidisciplinary approach involving physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and clinical neuropsychologists with 1:1 therapy (including Lee Silverman Voice Therapy), group sessions and exercise classes all available. 

Neurological Rehabilitation for Parkinson's

Evidence shows the most effective way to rehab is with high intensity; the brain requires adequate repetition to get the most benefit from neurological therapy. Our intensive programmes for patients with Parkinson’s aim to inspire healthy lifestyle behaviours to help maintain physical and psychological well-being as well as to build knowledge about how to take control of Parkinson’s with a therapeutic approach. Hobbs Rehabilitation offers Parkinson’s rehabilitation across inpatient, outpatient, and community-based settings.

What to Expect

During the early stages of Parkinson’s Hobbs Rehabilitation recommends an initial assessment followed by at least one or more follow-up appointments. A future review at either six, nine or twelve months is recommended to check in and adjust treatment as required. At the later stages of Parkinson’s, our recommendation would be an intensive rehabilitation package.

During the assessment, your therapist will discuss your clinical history and recommend the best treatment course. They will discuss which therapy is best suited to your condition as well as consider your needs and personal goals and refer you to our wider multidisciplinary team when required.
