Physiotherapy and Exercise in Parkinson's Disease.

Physiotherapy is an important treatment strategy in Parkinson's disease. Guidelines recommend early and regular physiotherapy referrals, which may improve a variety of symptoms, including falls. There are multiple types of physiotherapy with different goals and benefits.

Exercise as well can improve symptoms and may alter disease trajectory. Studies are limited by heterogenous interventions and outcome measures, and further research is needed in generating high-quality research and expanding physical therapy access.
