Occupational Therapy
People with Parkinson’s also suffer from symptoms of speech and voluntary movements. The occupational therapy can help Parkinson’s patients continue to do the activities that are important to them. In occupational therapy, the word occupation refers to an activity. Depending on the progression of Parkinson’s and its symptoms, lifestyle, priorities and interests, each individual may have different goals. No matter if a person has Parkinson’s for 20 years or 5 years or even a month, they still want to be independent in their life and achieve their goals. Occupational therapy helps patients achieve their goals, whether they want to play tennis or spend time with their family.
