Physical therapy alone may not be enough to manage severe Parkinson’s disease symptoms. However, when used along with medications or other types of therapy, it can help improve a person’s ability to perform daily tasks and improve their quality of life.

It's a 'given' that exercise can help PD symptoms. I take Tai Chi at Heartford Health in Mystic, Ct. It has helped my balance. I also use a treadmill regularly. In the past I was a marathon runner. I'm hoping to race again once the weather if better.
