Parkinson’s Disease Rehabilitation Mississauga

What Is Parkinson’s Disease?

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects the brain's ability to control movement and coordination.

The condition develops when dopamine-producing cells in the brain gradually decrease, resulting in movement-related symptoms that can impact daily activities and overall quality of life.

While Parkinson’s disease cannot currently be cured, physiotherapy and rehabilitation play an essential role in helping individuals maintain function, mobility, and independence.

Early intervention often leads to better long-term outcomes and improved quality of life.
