Georgia Farrance, Neurological Physiotherapist at Physio Matters, specializes in assisting individuals with Parkinson's disease shares valuable guidance on managing common mobility challenges associated with the condition, such as freezing gait, difficulty in transferring weight, and shuffling. In this video, Georgia provides practical advice on exercises and activities designed to improve these specific issues. Never underestimate the power of support. Whether it's family, friends, or a support group for individuals with Parkinson’s, being surrounded by people who understand your journey can provide emotional strength and invaluable advice. Remember, each person's journey with Parkinson's Disease is unique, and what works for one individual may not work for another. It's essential to work closely with your physiotherapist to tailor treatment and management plans to suit your specific needs.

So important

A concussion can seriously disrupt the life of an any athlete regardless of the level at which they compete. It's a cognitive impairment that--if not rehabbed properly--can result in increased risk of extremity injury or reoccurrence of head trauma. What, then, is the best path to take when rehabilitating these injuries? A 2022 study published by Kornfield, Kalambaheti, and Antonucci (cited in the image) attempted a specifically neurocognitive approach to rehabbing an ex-football player whose concussion symptoms lingered long after the end of his career. Over the course of 5 days, they performed neurocognitive rehab focusing on hand-eye coordination, bilateral limb reeducation, vestibular rotation, and general cognitive efficacy. After this training, the patient performed ~29% better at pattern-recognition test and reacted ~13.5% faster overall! #sportsrehab #sportsrehabilitation #sportsrecovery #sportsperformance #sportsperformancetraining #sportsphysiotherapy #physicaltherapy #rehab #acl #aclrehab #reaction #neuroplasticity #neurorehabilitation

Differing Dementias: Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) is also called Benson's syndrome. It is a rare form of dementia which is considered a visual variant of Alzheimer's disease. It may affect a person’s vision, their ability to read and write, their ability to navigate, and their ability to reach for objects. Charles sits down with our team to share his experience in a Courageous Conversation (Part 1 of 3). https://hubs.ly/Q02nPMcl0 Looking for additional resources on differing dementias?

VERTIGO Complete Injury Guide! . Link below! . . We have all experienced, for a variety of reasons, the sensation of being dizzy.

This movement is generally described as a whirling, spinning or rotating type of motion. . .
