A Proactive Partnership for Every Stage of the Journey

A diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease is the beginning of a lifelong journey, not just for the individual, but for the entire family. Navigating the progression of symptoms—from tremors and stiffness to challenges with walking and speech—requires more than just medical treatment. It requires a dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate partner who understands how to maximize quality of life, every single day.

At Apricot Rehab in Pune, we offer a specialized care program for Parkinson's Disease built on a foundation of empowerment and partnership. We understand the physical, emotional, and practical challenges you face. Our mission is to provide you and your family with an evidence-based, proactive plan to manage symptoms, maintain independence, and live a full and meaningful life.

Key Components of Our Parkinson's Care Program

Our holistic approach provides a circle of support to address the wide-ranging symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.

  • Specialized Physiotherapy (LSVT BIG®): The gold standard in exercise therapy to improve movement.
  • Speech & Voice Therapy (LSVT LOUD®):To combat the soft, quiet voice associated with PD.
  • Gait, Balance & "Freezing" Management: To improve walking safety and reduce fall risk.
  • Occupational Therapy: For independence and safety in daily activities.
  • Psychological & Emotional Support: For both the person with Parkinson's and their caregivers.
  • Swallow Therapy: To manage swallowing difficulties as the condition progresses.
  • Nutritional Counseling:To support overall health and medication effectiveness.
  • Inpatient Stay & 24/7 Nursing Care: For intensive rehabilitation and support.

Understanding the Parkinson's Journey

Parkinson's is a progressive neurological disorder that affects dopamine-producing cells in the brain, leading to challenges with movement control. The burden of Parkinson's Disease is significant and growing, with estimates suggesting that the number of people affected in India has more than doubled in the past two decades.

Our goal is to provide the right support at the right time, adapting our approach as your needs evolve through the stages of the disease.

  • Care in the Early Stages: The focus is on proactive intervention. We introduce high-intensity, evidence-based exercise programs like LSVT BIG® to improve motor performance, build a strong physical foundation, and establish habits that can help maintain function for longer.
  • Care in the Middle Stages:As symptoms like postural instability and freezing of gait become more prominent, our focus shifts. We introduce specific strategies to manage freezing, intensify balance training to prevent falls, and use occupational therapy to adapt daily tasks and maintain independence.
  • Care in the Late Stages:In the advanced stages, our care prioritizes safety and quality of life. We focus on preventing complications like falls or respiratory issues, provide training for caregivers on safe transfers and daily care, and adapt the environment to ensure comfort and dignity.

The Gold Standard: LSVT BIG® & LSVT LOUD® Therapy

Neuro Rehab is proud to have certified therapists who deliver these globally recognized, evidence-based treatments.

  • LSVT BIG®: An intensive physical and occupational therapy program that retrains the brain to make bigger, more controlled movements. It is proven to improve walking, balance, and the ability to perform daily tasks.
  • LSVT LOUD®: A speech therapy program that specifically targets the soft voice (hypophonia) common in PD. It retrains the vocal cords and brain to produce a stronger, healthier voice.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

I was just diagnosed and my symptoms are mild. Why should I start therapy now?

This is the absolute best time to start. Beginning an intensive, evidence-based exercise program like LSVT BIG® early can help you maintain function for longer, build a strong physical foundation, and may even slow the progression of your motor symptoms. It is far more effective than trying to reclaim function after it has been significantly lost.

What is "freezing of gait" and what can be done about it?

Freezing of gait is a common and frustrating symptom where you suddenly feel like your feet are glued to the floor. Our therapists are experts in teaching you specific mental and sensory "cueing" strategies (like using a visual line on the floor or a rhythmic beat) to break these freezing episodes and get moving again.

Will exercise make my Parkinson's worse or use up my dopamine faster?

This is a common myth. The opposite is true. Intense, targeted exercise is believed to help your brain use the dopamine it has more efficiently and promotes neuroplasticity. Proactive exercise is one of the most powerful, positive actions you can take to manage your Parkinson's.

What makes LSVT BIG® different from just going to the gym?

LSVT BIG® is a standardized, research-based treatment protocol delivered one-on-one by a certified therapist. It is not just general exercise. It focuses on a single target— high amplitude/large movements—and uses high intensity and repetition to retrain your brain and recalibrate your sense of normal movement. This specific focus is what makes it uniquely effective for Parkinson's disease.
