At Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers, we understand the struggles you face. Our experienced orthopedic therapists specialize in rehabilitation for Parkinson’s disease, using customized exercise programs and activities to help you regain function, confidence, and control.
A Personalized Approach to Parkinson’s Therapy in Wyckoff
Our Parkinson’s program is tailored specifically for adults ages 18-65 struggling with symptoms like:
- Tremors and muscle rigidity
- Impaired balance and coordination
- Shuffling gait and difficulty walking
- Bradykinesia (slowness of movement)

Regaining Mobility and Independence at Fyzical Therapy & Balance Centers
Living with Parkinson’s increasingly limits movement and independence. Our priority is helping you take back control over your body so you can continue engaging in meaningful activities.
We incorporate evidence-based techniques proven effective for Parkinson’s disease, including:
- Customized exercise programs to improve mobility
- Gait training to improve posture, balance, and walking ability
- Stretching and range of motion activities to reduce rigidity
- Balance and coordination exercises
- Functional training tailored to your daily living activities
- Adaptive strategies and equipment recommendations for safety
Small improvements lead to marked differences in quality of life. Our patients often regain the ability to independently walk, get dressed, or pick up objects they love. Therapy also leads to reduced symptoms so you can sleep better, socialize more, and feel more like yourself every day.

Frequently Asked Questions About Parkinson’s Therapy
What happens if Parkinson’s is left untreated?
Without treatment, Parkinson’s progression leads to worsening symptoms including loss of motor function, impaired cognition and mood disorders, trouble communicating, difficulty walking, chronic pain, and loss of independence in daily living activities. Engaging in specialized therapy minimizes the impacts of the disease and maintains quality of life for longer.
What is the best thing to do for Parkinson’s disease?
Along with medications from your doctor, evidence shows that specialized orthopedic therapy focused on mobility, flexibility, gait training, and more is most beneficial for people with Parkinson’s. Therapy helps manage symptoms and teaches adaptive strategies for maintaining function and reducing risk of complications.
How long do you have Parkinson’s before symptoms appear?
The time between onset of damage to dopamine-producing cells in the brain and appearance of symptoms is different for each patient. However, by the time motor symptoms like tremors, rigid muscles, and problems walking appear, patients typically have had Parkinson’s disease for at least 5-10 years. This is why early specialized therapy is key for maintaining mobility and independence longer.
