Simple Exercises for Parkinson’s Disease

The Parkinson’s disease experts at Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Jonesboro in Arkansas (Kara Norton, occupational therapist; Bethany Moss, physical therapist; and Lisa Hale, speech therapist) shared exercises for Parkinson’s patients that can be done in therapy or prescribed by a clinician to complete at home. “As specialized therapists, we use these exercises to improve our patients’ quality of life, target and reduce symptoms and increase function and mobility,” Norton said.
